Answer: 0.424 s
Explanation:
The speed of the car is given by:
[tex]v=\frac{S}{t}[/tex]
where
v = 5.9 m/s is the speed of the car
S = 2.5 m is the distance covered by the car
t is the time taken
Substituting the numbers and re-arranging the equation, we can find the time taken:
[tex]t=\frac{S}{v}=\frac{2.5 m}{5.9 m/s}=0.424 s[/tex]
