$A$ truck running at $90 \text{ km h}^{-1}$ is brought to rest over a distance of $25 \text{ m}$. Calculate the retardation and time for which brakes are applied.

  • A
    Retardation = $12.5 \text{ m s}^{-2}$,Time = $2 \text{ s}$
  • B
    Retardation = $10 \text{ m s}^{-2}$,Time = $2.5 \text{ s}$
  • C
    Retardation = $12.5 \text{ m s}^{-2}$,Time = $4 \text{ s}$
  • D
    Retardation = $25 \text{ m s}^{-2}$,Time = $1 \text{ s}$
