8. A car traveling at a constant speed of 24 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. One second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in chase with a constant acceleration of 3 m/s^2. (a) How long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car? (b) How fast is the trooper going at that time?
