A person driving her car at 35 km/h approaches an inter-section just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows thatthe yellow light lasts only 2.0s before turning to red, andshe is 28 m away from the near side of the intersection(Fig. 2–49). Should she try to stop, or should she speed upto cross the intersection before the light turns red? Theintersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum decelerationis -5.8 m/s?, whereas it can accelerate from 45 km/h to65 km/h in 6.0 s. Ignore the length of her car and herreaction time.– 28 m --15 m→FIGURE 2-49 Problem 73.
