A Corvette is traveling at a constant velocity \( 30 \, \text{m/s} \) when it passes a stationary supped up Civic. At that moment, the Civic puts the pedal to the floor and accelerates at \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). The Civic eventually catches up to the Corvette.

**Part a)** How much time does it take for the Civic to catch the Corvette? *(3 points)*

**Part b)** How far does the Civic travel in this time? *(3 points)*
