IT is difficult to know where the policeman started, so I assume at some point the motorist passed.
They both traveled the same distance.
d= 34*t
d=1/2 3.9 (t-7)^2
set them equal, and solve for time.
then solve for distance.
A motorist travels at a constant speed of 34.0 m/s through a school zone; exceeding the posted speed limit. A policeman, waits 7.0 s before giving chase at an acceleration of 3.9 m/s2.
(a) Find the time required to catch the car, from the instant the car passes the policeman.
(b) Find the distance required for the policeman to overtake the motorist.
