Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

The velocity of Brenda (vb) = 30 m/s

The acceleration of the officer (a) = 4 m/s2

The time after which the officer starts after Brenda passes = 2 sec

assumption:

Let point where  the officer began chasing Brenda be (0,0) and Brenda and officer are moving along x-axis.
