Trials on the surface of a new road show that, when a car skids to a halt, its acceleration is -7.0 m s-2. Estimate the skid-to-stop distance of a car travelling at a speed limit of 30 m s-1(approximately 110 km h-1or 70 mph).

At the scene of an accident on a country road, police find skid marks stretching for 50 m. Tests on the road surface show that a skidding car decelerates at 6.5 m s-2. Was the car that skidded exceeding the speed limit of 25 m s-190 km h-1 on this road?
