Detailed Solution

A moving car is stopped in 10 seconds by applying brakes that give a retardation of 2.5 m/s2. The initial velocity of the car would be 25 m/s.
Given that, car stops after applying brakes, this means that
final velocity = 0 m/s acceleration, = - 2.5 m/s2 time = 10 seconds
Initial velocity = u
To find out initial velocity, u, we can use the equation
v=u+at
 0 = u + (-2.5) 10
 u = 25 m/s
