toddler makes a bee-line for the road travelling from the edge of a sandbox 7.60 m away from the road at a constant speed of 0.540 m/s. Their parent, initially reading by the sandbox, assesses the situation 3.10 seconds later and moves with a constant acceleration of 0.900m/s^2 to catch the child. How far from the road, in meters, is the toddler when their adventure is interrupted?
