A motorcyclist, moving at a constant speed of 20 meters per second, passes in front of a police station, where there is a sign indicating that the speed limit of the road is 12 meters per second. At that same moment, a police officer, who was on duty, starts from rest in pursuit of the traffic violator, developing a constant acceleration of 3.5 meters per second squared. Knowing that at that moment the traffic violator was already 15 meters ahead of the officer, determine approximately: a) The approximate time interval that elapsed until the moment the officer catches up with the traffic violator. b) The speed of the officer at the moment of the encounter. c) The distance traveled by the officer until the moment of the encounter.
