Answer:

31.404 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this equation, SUVAT is your best option utilizing and rearranging the known values to solve for the unknown.

here we have the values for

s=895

u=22

v=35

t= the unknown value

in this instant the equation s=0.5 x (u+v)t is the best equation to use

so we sub in the known values

895=0.5 x (22+35)t

rearrange to solve for t

895=28.5t

895/28.5=t

t=31.404 seconds (rounded to 3 decimal places)
