Answer:
a) F = 2000 N , B) x = 25 m
Step-by-step explanation:
a) To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy 
 W = ΔK 
 
The job is 
 W = -F x 
the negative sign is because the force of the brakes is contrary to the movement 
as the car stops its final kinetic energy is zero 
 K = ½ m v² 
let's substitute 
 - F x = 0 - ½ m v² 
 F = ½ m v² / x 
 
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system 
 v = 72 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 20 m / s 
 
let's calculate 
 F = ½ 1000 20²/100 
 F = 2000 N 
 
b) x = ½ mv2 / F 
let's slow down to the SI system 
 v = 36 km / h = 10 m / s 
let's calculate 
 x = ½ 1000 10²/2000 
 x = 25 m
