    Answer:

    The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

    Explanation:

    In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

    x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

    vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

    a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

    t: time

    xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

    x: final distance to the child = 0m

    It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

    You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

    45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

    0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

    You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

    The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
