First case

Initial velocity u = 30 km/h {tex}= {25\over 3}\ m/s{/tex}

As it stops so Final velocity v = 0

time taken t  = 8 m

Acceleration of car = a 

We know,

{tex}a = {v-u\over t}{/tex}

={tex}-{25\over 24}\ m/s^2{/tex}

Second case : 

As same breaks applied so acceleration is same.

initial velocity u = 60 km/h {tex}={50\over 3}\ m/s{/tex}

As it comes to rest so final velocity v = 0 m/s

Distances covered before rest = s

We know,

{tex}v^2-u^2= 2as{/tex}

=> {tex}(0)^2-({50\over 3})^2= 2\times {-25\over 24}\times s{/tex}

{tex}=> s =-{2500\over 9}\times {-24\over 25}\times {1\over 2}{/tex}

= 33.3 m
