How fast was the motorist going


A motorist suddenly notices a stalled car and slams on the brakes, negatively accelerating at 6.6m/s^2 . Unfortunately this isn't enough, and a collision ensues. From the damage sustained, police estimate that the car was going 15km/h at the time of the collision. They also measure skid marks 36m long.

A. How fast was the motorist going when the brakes were first applied?

B. How much time elapsed from the initial braking to the collision?
