V = 40km/h = 40,000m/3600s = 11.1 m/s.
Vo = 80km/h = 80,000m/3600s = 22.2 m/s.

1. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a*d = (11.1)^2.
(22.2)^2 + 2a*500 = (11.1)^2,
1000a = (11.1)^2-(22.2)^2 = -369.63, a = -0.370 m/s^2.

(22.2)^2 + 2*(-0.370)*d = 0.
-0.740d = -(22.2)^2, d = 666 m. further.

2. V = Vo + a+t = 0.
22.2 - 0.370*t = 0, t = 60 s.
