For this we can say:

Initial velocity (u) = 26 m/s

Final velocity (V) = 0 m/s

Time (t) = 3 s

Distance (d) = ¿?

For calculate skidding distance, let's applicate the formula:

`\boxed{d = ((u+V))/(2) *t}`

Replacing:

`d = ((26m/s+0m/s)/(2))*3s`

`d =(26m/s)/(2) * 3s`

`d = 18m/s * 3s`

`d = 54\ m`

The distance is 54 meters (m)
