Given:

The acceleration of the car is a = 2 m/s^2

The initial speed of the car is


v_0=0ms^(-1)

The final speed of the car is


v_f=30\text{ m/s}

To find the time taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the time taken is


t=(v_f-v_(_0))/(a)

Substituting the values, the time taken will be


\begin{gathered} t=(30-0)/(2) \\ =15\text{ s} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The time taken is 15 s.
