A car is approaching a stoplight. When the car is 200 m from the stoplight, the light turns yellow. The driver now has three seconds to either come to a stop, or hurry through the intersection before the light turns red. The car's initial velocity is 50 m/s, and it can accelerate at a maximum of 8 m/s^2. Determine if the car can make it through the light.

Apply third equation of kinematics

Unfortunately the car cannot make it through

No. The car could not make through the light.

Explanation:

Formula:

where s is displacement, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, t is time

Using the formula:

Distance: 50 * 3 + 1/2 * 8 * 3²

              : 186 meters

The car could not make it through.
