The time taken for the car to drive directly north is 8.52 seconds.
Time of motion of the car
v = u + at
At 137.7° angle
v = u + a cosθ(t)
v = 17.9 + 2.88cos(137.7)t
v = 17.9 - 2.1t
when the car is directly north, v = 0
0 = 17.9 - 2.1t
2.1t = 17.9
t = 17.9/2.1
t = 8.52 seconds
Thus, the time taken for the car to drive directly north is 8.52 seconds.
