A grab driver is traveling at 15 m/s when the traffic light 787 ft
ahead suddenly turns red. The duration of the red light is 0.4
min.
Determine the following:
a) the required uniform deceleration in m/s² of the motorcycle if
the driver intends to pass the light without stopping just as it
turns green again (report the final answer in 3 significant digits)
b) the velocity in km/hr of the motorcycle as it passess the light
(report the final answer in 3 significant digits)
