Question
A driver is traveling 18.4 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.55 m/s^2
If it takes her 0.390s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? No.
How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?

- 10. A person is driving along a straight highway at a speed of 22.0 m/s when the traffic light which is 41.0 m ahead turns yellow. Because of his "reaction time", there is a delay of 0.11 s before the man steps on the brake. The car then slows with a deceleration of 4.40 m/s2.

I decelerated at a constant rate of 15 ft/sec², skidding all the way. One second into the slide, my trip computer said I was going 27 ft/sec. How far did I skid before stopping? Did I avoid hitting the squirrel?

- A cannon on a flat railroad car travels to the east with its barrel tilted 30∘ above horizontal. It fires a cannonball at 50 m/s. At t= 0 s, the car, starting from rest, begins to accelerate to the east at 4.0 m/s2. At what time should the cannon be fired to hit a target on the tracks that is 360 m to the east of the car's initial position?
