Answer:
1.7 seconds
Explanation:
To clear the intersection, the total distance to be covered = 59.7 + 25 =84.7m
first we need to find the initial speed to just enter the intersection by using the third equation of motion
v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s
45^2 - u^2 = 2 * -5.7 * 84.7
u^2 = 45^2 +965.58
u^2 = 2990.58
u = 54.7 m/s
Now for time we apply the first equation of motion
v-u =a * t
t = (v-u)/a = (45 - 54.7)/-5.7 = 1.7seconds
