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?
