We can use the equation v=u+at where:

v=7 ms^-1 (final velocity)
u=0 ms^-1 (initial velocity)
a=7.9 ms^-2 (acceleration)
t=? s (time)

Rearranging, t=(v-u)/a=(7-0)/7.9=0.89 s

The time required is 0.886 s.

Explanation:

Use the suvat formula

v = u + a*t

Plug in the data and solve for t.

7 ms^-1 = 0 + 7.9 ms^-2*t

7.9 ms^-2*t = 7 ms^-1

t = (7 ms^-1)/(7.9 ms^-2) = 0.886 s

I hope this helps,
