Homework Statement
A person driving her car at 50km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow light lasts only 2s before turning red, and she is 30m away from the near side of the intersection. Should she try to stop, or should she make a run for it? The intersection is 12m wide, and her car's max. deceleration is -6m/s^2. Also her car takes 7s to accelerate from 50km/h to 70km/h. Ignore the length of the car and her reaction time.
