Question

Saurabh Koranglekar · Answer

Dear student

Please convert all the numerals in same units preferably SI

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

v=0
u, S are given
a can be found

now
v = u+at

t can be found

Pleasedo not forget to take reaction time delay into consideration ie distance travelled at 42 mph for 0.3 sec
