You are driving to the grocery store at 18 m/s. You are 120 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration.

What magnitude braking acceleration will bring you to a stop exactly at the intersection?

You are driving to the grocery store at 24 m/s. You are 130 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration.
a) What acceleration (magnitude) will bring you to rest right at the intersection?
b) How long (total) does it take you to stop after the light turns red?

You are driving to the grocery store at 25 m/s. You are 100 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.7 s. and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. How far are you from intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? (in m) What acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? (in m/s2) How long does it take you to stop? (in s)
