Venus is closer, relatively the same size as the earth and has an atmosphere
Answer:
She must stop the car before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m
Explanation:
We will take all units to the SI system
Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s
V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s
We calculate the distance traveled before stopping
X = Vo t + ½ to t²
Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red is t = 2.0 s
X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²
X = 12.66 m
It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red
Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle
V2 = Vo + a t2
a = (V2-Vo) / t2
a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6
a = 0.926 m / s2
This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)
X = Vo t + ½ to t²
X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²
X = 28.58 m
Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen
To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation
.
or
Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.
Given, 
,
and 
.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.
