Given:
the speed of the car is

Time during which it comes to rest

Required: acceleration is to be calculated
Explanation:
first, convert the speed from miles per hour to meters per second
in doing so we use a conversion factor
that is given as

Then the speed is ,

now calculate the acceleration,
we know that

where v is the final velocity that is zero because finally, the car comes to rest.
plugging all the values in the above relation, we get

negative sign shows that acceleration in the opposite direction
Thus, the acceleration is
