A race driver has made a pit stop to refuel. After refueling, he starts from rest and leaves the pit area with an acceleration whose magnitude is 6.0 m/s2; after 4.0 s he enters the main speedway. At the same instant, another car on the speedway and traveling at a constant velocity of 70.0 m/s overtakes and passes the entering car. The entering car maintains its acceleration. How much time is required for the entering car to catch the other car?

A) 12 s
B) 15 s
C) 18 s
D) 20 s
E) 22 s
