Do you have a question?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! … that the average acceleration was (inserting unit conversion factor for km/hr —> km/sec):
(0km/hr - 100km/hr) * (1hr/3600s) / (0.5 s)
= (-100 km/3600s) / (0.5s)
= (-0.55556 km/s^2)
= m/s^2

That's over 56g's (555.56/9.806). Might not be a survivable situation.
