    If the car is accelerating uniformly then,

    velocity of car at the fourth second is 16m/s

    Then if the car with this velocity stopped after 2s then acceleration is,

    a=0-16/2=-8m/s^2

    braking distance is given by

    d=16*2-0.5*8*2*2

    =32-16

    =16m

    this answer is valid only if the motion is one dimensional

    all the best.
