An ambulance driver is rushing a patient to the hospital. While traveling at 72 km/h, she notices the traffic light at the upcoming intersections has turned yellow. To reach the intersection before the light turns red, she must travel 52 m in 2.17 s. What minimum acceleration must the ambulance have to reach the intersection before the light turns red
