Use the general formula from kinematic


    d = %28at%5E2%29%2F2,


where d is the travel distance, "a" is uniform constant acceleration, t is the time; the body is accelerated from the rest.


From the formula,   t = sqrt%28%282d%29%2Fa%29 = sqrt%28%282%2A4.8%29%2F0.76%29 = 3.554 seconds.    ANSWER

Solved.
