Answer:

Time, t = 4.8 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 24 m/s

Acceleration of the car,

When the brakes are applied, v = 0

Let t is the time required by the car to stop it. It can be calculated using the formula of the acceleration as :

t = 4.8 seconds

So, the time required to bring the car to a stop is 4.8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
