Acar with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. the driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately steps on the brake pedal and manage to stop the car in 6 s. the distance of the cows from the car when the driver spotted them is 160 m. how far are the cows from the car when the car stops?

From laws of motion:


Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s

Substitute the values, hence:



But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m
