Stuck on a physics question..?

A 1000kg car is traveling at 25m/s. Its brakes can apply a force of 5000N. What is the minimum distance required for the car to stop?

newtons= ma. and since the car ways 1000kg the accl is 5 m/s squared. then just find the answer using the formula: velocity squared= initial velocity squared + 2 times accl times distance. Or v^2= v0^2+2a(x-x0)
