The "R" stood for "Rex," which is latin for King. Latin was the common language of the highly educated back then. So, by signing "Henry R" he was signing as "Henry the King." His daughter Elizabeth did the same, but the R stood for "Regina," or Queen in her case.

What is the acceleration of a car traveling at a speed of 100 km hr comes to a rest at a stop sign in 12.5 seconds?

From the problem statement, the initial speed is 100 km/hr, the final speed is 0, and the time of change is 12.5 seconds. The acceleration is therefore: [(0 - 100)km/hr]/12.5 sec = -8 km/hr/sec. It is customary, but not fundamentally necessary, to "normalize" the units of time so that they can be expressed as a square of the same unit. This can be done by noting that 1 hr = 3600 sec, so that -100 km/hr = 1/36 km/sec. The answer can then be written as - (8/36) km/sec2, and 8/36 can be reduced to 2/9. Note that, since the sign of the acceleration is negative, this acceleration could properly be described as "deceleration".
