A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 21.8m/s sees a cat 101 m away on the road. How long will it take for the car to accelerate uniformly to a stop in exactly 99 m.

The acceleration of the car will be needed in order to calculate the time. It is important to consider that the final speed is equal to zero:

[tex]v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ad\ \to\ a = \frac{-v_0^2}{2d} = -\frac{21.8^2\ m^2/s^2}{2\cdot 99\ m} = -2.4\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

We can clear time in the speed equation:

[tex]v = v_0 + at\ \to\ t = \frac{-v_0}{a} = \frac{-21.8\ m/s}{-2.4\ m/s^2} = \bf 9.08\ s[/tex]

If you find some mistake in my English, please tell me know.

It will take 9.08 s for the car to accelerate uniformly to a stop in exactly 99m. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
