100km/hour = 100000m/3600sec

You have t=10, u=0, v=100 and you need to find s

the only equation that has all of those letters and no others is [3]

100km

 

$$s=\frac{1}{2}(0+\frac{100000}{3600})*10 \;metres$$

 

$${\mathtt{0.5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{100\,000}}}{{\mathtt{3\,600}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{10}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{1\,250}}}{{\mathtt{9}}}} = {\mathtt{138.888\: \!888\: \!888\: \!888\: \!888\: \!9}}$$

 

The car will go 139 metres (to the nearest metre)

There is no possible way to answer this, 1st you would need to know the size of the cars wheels (because the size of the wheels make a difference in range) and then you would need to know how long you would like me to get, which would involve testing.
