### a 11.4 seconds
Explanation
## Step1: Identify the given variables### The problem provides the change in velocity,
, and the average acceleration,
(assuming standard gravitational acceleration).## Step2: Use the kinematic equation### The kinematic equation relating change in velocity, acceleration, and time is
. We need to solve for
.## Step3: Solve for time
### Rearrange the equation to solve for
:
. Substitute the given values:
.## Step4: Calculate the time### Performing the division gives
seconds.
