Motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed

Reference no: EM13667212

A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.3 m/s. Now as she passes a parked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at1.5 m/s² to overtake her. Assuming the officer maintains this acceleration; decide the time it takes the police officer to reach the motorist (in seconds).
