A student is running at her top speed of 5.2 m/s to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still 40.2 m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.179 m/s². (a) For how much time and what distance does the student have to run at 5.2 m/s before she overtakes the bus? (b) When she reaches the bus, how fast is the bus traveling? (c) If the student's top speed is 2.0 m/s, will she catch the bus? (d) What is the
