4 s

Explanation:

According to the given information,

acceleration 'a' = 4 m/s^2
initial velocity 'u' = 20 m/s
final velocity 'v' = 36 m/s

Now, I have to find how long the acceleration of the automobile takes place.
refer that 't' is time taken

Using equation,
v = u + at

rArr 36 = 20 + 4t

value of 't' comes out to be 4 s.
