A car traveling at a constant speed of 45.0 m/s passes a trooper on a motorcycle hidden behind a billboard. One sec- ond after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets out from the billboard to catch the car, accelerating at a constant rateof 3.00 m/s. How long does it take the trooper to overtake the car?
