AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the velocity of the car from km/h to m/s The velocity of the car is given as 90 km/h. We need to convert this to meters per second (m/s). \[ \text{Velocity of the car (v)} = 90 \, \text{km/h} = \frac{90 \times 1000 \, \text{m}}{3600 \, \text{s}} = 25 \, \text{m/s} \] ...
