(b) Assume that the car moves with constant acceleration. Find the distance the car travels in the first 8.00 s. (c) What is the speed of the car 10.0 s after it begins its motion if it can continue to move with the same acceleration?

A police car is traveling at a velocity of 16.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant speed of 50 m/s due north. After a reaction time of 0.700 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
