The time is $=1.5s$

The power is

$P=UI$

$"Power"="Voltage"xx"Current"$

The voltage is $U=8V$

The current is $I=3A$

The power is

$P=UI=8*3=24W$

The kinetic energy of the car is

$E=1/2mv^2$

The mass of the car is $m=2kg$

The speed is $v=6ms^-1$

So,

The kinetic energy is

$E=1/2mv^2=1/2*2*(6)^2=36J$

Let the time $=(t)s$

$E=Pt$

$"Energy=Power" xx "time"$

The time is

$t=E/P=(36)/24=1.5s$
