    {{{(at^2)/2}}} = {{{v*t}}}.


The equation says:  the distance covered by the police officer is equal to that covered by a violator.


Express all given data in <U>uniform (consistent) system of units</U> and solve the equation then

    t = {{{(2v)/a}}}.

Comment from student: Thanks for answering my question, but I'm a little confused on the last equation. 
Did you derive that equation from the first one or is that a separate equation?




<U>My response</U> : I derived the second equation from the first one.


For it, I canceled both sides in the first equation by the factor t.


Thanks for your question.
