Answer: 0.424 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the car is given by:


v=(S)/(t)

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:


t=(S)/(v)=(2.5 m)/(5.9 m/s)=0.424 s
