Question
Ima Rushin can travel from Milwaukee Avenue to the school entrance gate at a constant speed of 22.5
m/s when the lights are green and there is no traffic. On Wednesday, Ima is stopped by a red light at
Landwehr Road. She decelerates at -3.95 m/s2, then waits for 45.0 seconds before the light turns green
and accelerates back up to speed at 4.91 m/s².
