Answer : The time taken will be 3 seconds.
Explanation :
By the 1st equation of motion,
[tex]v=u+at[/tex] ...........(1)
where,
v = final velocity = 8 m/s
u = initial velocity = 2 m/s
t = time = ?
a = acceleration = [tex]2m/s^2[/tex]
Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:
[tex]8m/s=2m/s+(2m/s^2)\times t[/tex]
[tex]t=3s[/tex]
Hence, the time taken will be 3 seconds.
