A young woman named Kathy Kool buys a sports car that can accelerate at the rate of 5.45 m/s². She decides to test the car by dragging with another speedster, Stan Speedy. Both starts from rest, but experienced Stan leaves the starting line 1.00 s before Kathy. Suppose Stan moves with a constant acceleration of 3.40 m/s2 and Kathy maintains an acceleration of 5.45 m/s².

(a) Determine the time it takes Kathy to overtake Stan.
