You are driving at 45mph when you see the light turned red at the intersection 35m ahead. You step on the brake and decelerate at a constant 6.0m/s2. Will you be able to come to a stop without running the red light?

Thank you.

Answer #1

Concept: if it stops before the red light the final velocity is zero before 35 m, we use kinematics equation to solve for the stopping distance and compare it with the distance to the red light

A person driving her car at 53.0 km/hr approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow (see figure below). She knows that the yellow light lasts only 1.60 s before turning to red, and she is a distance D = 33.0 m away from the near side of the intersection. If she decides to stop, how far from the intersection will she come to a stop? The intersection is W =16.0 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration is...

You are driving toward a traffic signal when it turns yellow. Your speed is the legal speed limit of v0 = 55 km/h; your best deceleration rate has the magnitude a = 5.18 m/s2. Your best reaction time to begin braking is T = 0.75 s. To avoid having the front of your car enter the intersection after the light turns red, should you brake to a stop or continue to move at 55 km/h if the distance to the...

A motorist is driving at 19.2 m/s when she sees that a traffic light 203 m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stays red for 14.5 s, and she wants to reach the light just as it turns green again. It takes her 1.1 s to step on the brakes and begin slowing. What is her speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green?

You are driving your car uphill along a straight road. Suddenly, see a car cross a red light and enter the intersection, just ahead of you. Immediately apply your brakes and skid in a straight line to stop, leaving a mark of 100 ft long by sliding.

When the light turns yellow, should you stop or go through the light? A research article defined the “indecision zone” as the period when a vehicle is between 2.5 and 5.5 seconds away from an intersection. At the intersection of Route 7 and North Shrewsbury in Clarendon, Vermont, 154 vehicles were observed to encounter a yellow light while within the indecision zone and 21 ran the red light. At the intersection of Route 62 and Paine turnpike in Berlin, Vermont,...
