Answer: time is 47.56sec
Explanation: acceleration is define as the rate of change of velocity. That is,
Acceleration = velocity/time
Since we’re told to find the time we can make time t the subject of formula in the above equation.
So we have,
Time = Velocity/Acceleration
But from the question velocity is given as 16.98 m/s while acceleration is given as 0.357m/s²
So we have,
Time = 16.98/0.357 = 47.56seconds
