A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12.6 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.4 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.2 m/s?, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
