(Braking Force) x distance = Initial Kinetic Energy
Force times distance is work done against friction, which must equal the initial kinetic energy.
Change 100 km/h to m/s before calculating Kinetic Energy
For the Kinetic Energy formula, read my answer to your previous question.
What net braking force must be applied to stop a car with a mass of 900 kg initially travelling at a velocity of 100 km/h within a straight-line distance of 50 m?
