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.

So 59 is NOT the answer?
