The time is $= 8.46 s$ $=8.46s$

Explanation:

The distance $A B$ $AB$ is

$A B = \sqrt{{(6 - 8)}^{2} + {(3 - 3)}^{2} + {(4 - 3)}^{2}} = \sqrt{{(- 2)}^{2} + {(0)}^{2} + {(1)}^{2}}$ $AB=sqrt((6-8)^2+(3-3)^2+(4-3)^2)=sqrt((-2)^2+(0)^2+(1)^2)$

$= \sqrt{4 + 0 + 1} = \sqrt{5} m$ $=sqrt(4+0+1)=sqrt5m$

The acceleration is $a = \frac{1}{4} m s^{- 2}$ $a=1/4ms^-2$

The initial velocity is $u = 0 m s^{- 1}$ $u=0ms^-1$

We apply the equation of motion

$s = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$ $s=ut+1/2at^2$

So,

$\sqrt{5} = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot {(\frac{1}{4})}^{2} \cdot t^{2}$ $sqrt5=0+1/2*(1/4)^2*t^2$

$t^{2} = 32 \sqrt{5}$ $t^2=32sqrt5$

$t = \sqrt{32 \sqrt{5}} = 8.46 s$ $t=sqrt(32sqrt5)=8.46s$
