The time is #=10.85s#

The power is

#P=UI#

The voltage is #U=8V#

The current is #I=7A#

The power is

#P=UI=8*7=56W#

The kinetic energy of the car is

#E=1/2mv^2#

The mass is #m=15kg#

The speed is #v=9ms^-1#

so,

#E=1/2*15*(9)^2=607.5J#

Let the time #=(t)s#

#E=Pt#

#t=E/P=(607.5)/56=10.85s#
