A speeder traveling at 0.60 c passes a police car. After a 2.0 s reaction time, the police take off at 0.80 c in pursuit of the speeder. How much time will elapse in the reference frame of the speeder between the instant that the police begin their pursuit to the instant that they catch up to the speeder?

A police car is traveling at a velocity of 17.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant velocity of 44.0 m/s due north. After a reaction time 0.500 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 6.00 m/s^2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
