A car moving along a straight highway with speed of $126 \;\mathrm{km} h^{-1}$ is brought to a stop within a distance of $200\; \mathrm{m}$. how long(in $seconds$) does it take for the car to stop?

$u=126 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}=126 \times \frac{5}{18} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}=35 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

$v=0$

$s=200 m$

Newton's Equation of motion $v^{2}-u^{2}=2 a s$

$0^{2}-35^{2}=2 a(200)$

$a=-3.0625 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Also

$v=u+a t$

$0=35-3.06 t$

$t=11.4 \;s$

A car moving with a velocity of $10 \,m/s$ can be stopped by the application of a constant force $F$ in a distance of $20\, m$. If the velocity of the car is $30\, m/s$, it can be stopped by this force in......$m$

On what factors, does the stopping distance depend ?

The motion of a body is given by the equation $\frac{{dv(t)}}{{dt}} = 6.0 - 3v(t)$. where $v(t)$ is speed in $m/s$ and $t$ in $\sec $. If body was at rest at $t = 0$
