That depends on the driver's reaction time, the weight of the car, the condition of the brakes, and the composition and condition of the pavement.
Depends on the amount of time we are given to stop the car. Force = mass x acceleration If we are given 1000 000 seconds to stop the car Force = 500kg * 30/1000000 = 0.015N
60 MPH = 88 fps. (fps=1.467 * MPH). If the vehicle deceleration rate is 20 fpsps, then stopping time = 88/20 = 4.4 seconds. Since there is a 1 second delay (driver reaction time) in hitting your brakes (both recognition and reaction time is often 2 seconds), the total time to stop is 5.4 seconds to 6.4 seconds.

You can't figure "acceleration" from this information. Maybe you meant "Deceleration"? Ask again.
