The ball $P$ starts at point $A$ and rolls back and forth 8 times. Assuming rolling to the right is positive and to the left is negative, the 8 rolls are recorded as (units: millimeters): $+12, -10, +9, -6, +8.5, -6, +8, -7$.

(1) Find the distance of the ball $P$ from point $A$ when it stops, in millimeters.

(2) If the ball takes 0.02 seconds to roll 1 millimeter, calculate the total time taken for these 8 rolls, in seconds.
