To solve the problem step by step, we will use the equations of motion and the concept of friction. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Initial velocity (u) = 7 m/s - Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the car stops) - Distance (s) = 10 m ### Step 2: Use the third equation of motion to find acceleration (a) ...
