Answer:
(a) Yes
(b) 102.8 ft
Explanation:
(a)First let convert mile per hour to feet per second
30 mph = 30 * 5280 / 3600 = 44 ft/s
The time it takes for this driver to decelerate comfortably to 0 speed is
t = v / a = 44 / 10 = 4.4 (s)
given that it also takes 1.5 seconds for the driver reaction, the total time she would need is 5.9 seconds. Therefore, if the yellow light was on for 4 seconds, that's not enough time and the dilemma zone would exist.
(b) At this rate the distance covered by the driver is
Since the intersection is only 60 feet wide, the dilemma zone must be
162.8 - 60 = 102.8 ft
