1. The time taken for the car to reach a velocity of 60 m/s is 8.57 s
2. The distance travelled during the time is 257.14 m
<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>
The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as
a = (v – u) / t
Where
- a is the acceleration
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity
- t is the time
1. How to determine the time
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Acceleration (a) = 7 m/s²
- Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
- Time (t) =?
a = (v – u) / t
Thus,
t = (v – u) / a
t = (60 – 0) / 7
t = 8.57 s
2. How to determine the distance
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Acceleration (a) = 7 m/s²
- Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
- Distance (s) = ?
v² = u² + 2as
60² = 0² + (2 × 7 × s)
3600 = 0 + 14s
3600 = 14s
Divide both sides by 14
s = 3600 / 14
s = 257.14 m

Answer:
4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.
Explanation:
If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.
You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.
The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.
