Answer:

The shortest time is 1.2 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 30 m

Speed = 25 m/s

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

We need to calculate the shortest time

Using formula of time


t=(d)/(v)

Where, d = distance

v = velocity

Put the value into the formula


t=(30)/(25)


t=1.2\ sec

Hence, The shortest time is 1.2 sec.
