Given information

As per the given information ,

  • Car Velocity =  
  • Time before the light turns red  
  • Distance to the intersection in    
  • Width of intersection is  
  • Car can accelerate from    to  in 
  • Deceleration of the car =  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

To Determine Should she stop the car or speed up to cross the intersection  we will use Third equation of motion ,

Third equation of motion:

 

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

Second equation of motion:

 

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