Answer:

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -6 m/s²

Time taken by the car to stop

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20}{-6}\\\Rightarrow t=3.33\ s

Total Time taken by the car to stop is 0.5+3.33 = 3.83 s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 3.83+\frac{1}{2}\times -6\times 3.83^2\\\Rightarrow s=32.58\ m

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Distance between car and obstacle is 50-32.58 = 17.42 m
