A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 21.5 m/s. Just as she passes a parked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at 4.00 m/s² to overtake her. Assume that the officer maintains this acceleration.

1) Decide the time it takes the police officer to reach the motorist.

2) Discover the speed of the officer as he overtakes the motorist.

3) Discover the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist.
