Answer: 10.6 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Because I got it right on my quiz :D

also because you can use the impulse momentum formula, Ft=m(triangle)v

so basically u do 16m/s-2m/s=14m/s and thats your triangle v (change in velocity) then multiply 14 times the mass, which is 34. Thats 476, so now you have ft=476, and you know F, the force, so all you have to do is divide 476 by 45, and you get like 10.5777777 which rounds up to 10.6!
