. Your best reaction time to begin braking is T=0.75s. To avoid having the front of your car enter the intersection after the light turns red, should you brake to a stop or continue to move at 55km/h if the distance to the intersection and the duration of the yellow light are (a) 40m and 2.8s, and (b) 32m and 1.8s? Give an answer of the brake, continue, either (if either strategy works), or neither (if neither strategy works and the yellow duration is inappropriate).
