Initial Speed of the car .

Acceleration .  

Distance to be covered .  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

To determine Whether the other car can make it through all the stoplights before they are changed from green below formulae is used 

First equation of motion:

   

Where,  is the initial velocity,   is the final velocity, is the acceleration and is the time.

Second equation of motion:

   

 

Where, is the displacement, is the initial velocity,   is the time,   is the acceleration. 

The car will accelerate at  to the speed limit in time  . 

Use the first equation of motion to find time t.

   

Distance covered in  

Substitute the values and solve:
