Question:
You are an engineer designing a traffic light. Assume a person can see a traffic light change color from red to yellow, and it takes one second to respond to a change in color. Suppose the speed limit is 15. m/s. Your goal is to enable drivers always to stop after seeing and responding to the yellow light with a maximum deceleration of -5.0 m/s2. How long should the yellow light last?

I have been a tutor for the past 5 years. I have experience working with students in a variety of subject areas, including computer science, math, science, English, and history. I have also worked with students of all ages, from elementary school to college. In addition to my tutoring experience, I have a degree in education from a top university. This has given me a strong foundation in child development and learning theories, which I use to inform my tutoring practices.
I am patient and adaptable, and I work to create a positive and supportive learning environment for my students. I believe that all students have the ability to succeed, and it is my job to help them find and develop their strengths. I am confident in my ability to tutor students and help them achieve their academic goals.
