We first apply the data to the problem.

Data:


\bold{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:V = 408km/h}


\bold{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: D = 80m} \\ \bold{T = ?}

Now, we convert km/h to m/s.

Conversion:


\bold{408km/h * (1000m/1km) * (1h/3600s) }


\bold{V = 113.3m/s}

Then, we apply the formula that is.

Formula:


\bold{T = D/V}

Finally we develop the problem.

Developing:


\bold{T = 80m / 113.3m/s}


\bold{T = 0.706s}

In a time of 0.706 seconds.
