    The document describes a car approaching a set of traffic lights that turn red at time t=0. The car starts to slow down sometime after the lights turn red. The graph of the car's speed vs. time shows that between t=2s and t=7s, the car's deceleration is non-uniform as its speed decreases at a changing rate over time. The question asks to determine the time it took for the car to start slowing down after the lights turned red, explain uniform acceleration, and calculate the distance the car traveled from when it started slowing down until it stopped.

    2 A car approaches a set of traffic lights. The lights change to red at time t = 0.

    Fig. 2.1 shows how the speed of the car changes with time.

    (a) The car starts to slow down a short time after the lights change to red.

    Determine the time between the lights changing to red and the car starting to slow down.
