My understanding of the law is that a "yellow light" means "stop unless you are very close to or already in the intersection".Not under the law. In fact, even if you are within a distance where stopping isn't possible for a yellow light, you are not supposed to "floor it", despite popular belief.
This is part of the reason that people in the US can be bad drivers, they tend to get set in certain patterns of bad driving behavior, and then complain about efforts to correct that bad driving behavior.
Floor it, no. Speed up a bit to clear the intersection, possibly.
