It will take 20 seconds for the car to attain a speed of 34 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Acceleration of an object is given by a = velocity/time.
  • Here, acceleration of the car = 1.7 m/s² and velocity = 34 m/s. Using these, find time.
  • Time = velocity/acceleration

= 34/1.7 = 20 s

So it takes 20 seconds to attain a speed of 34 m/s
