No, the answer is 19.67 m/s. I posted Avegadro's number because I felt like busting balls- as he should really do his own homework so he doesn't get boned on a test.

I got it the same way 97Camaro did. 18.33m covered until the brakes are applied, 19.67m of distance left, equation will zero out when the initial velocity is ~19.83m/s. The only "ball buster" is how far they want the car to be from the wall to be considered "not hit". 0 is not really right IMO, because they would be exactly touching.
