A man and his young son play a game. The man rolls a ball along the ground. His son runs after the ball to fetch it.
Once the ball has stopped, the boy runs to fetch it. He starts from rest beside his father and accelerates at a constant rate of for before maintaining a constant speed. Find the time taken to reach the ball.
