										As soon as the car sets into motion the friction force acting on its tyre would be equal to the limiting value of the static friction which is equal to 5m (where m is the mass of the car).So this force provides the acc which is equal to 5m/s^2..so the minimum time required is  about 14 sec.

										 friction = u(mg)
     ma = umg
        a = ug =5m/s²             (retardation)
now we have
                 V² = U² - 2aS      
             S=500 , V=0 , U=? ,a =5 
 after substituting these we get
   U = (5000)^1/2
now we have ,
                       V = U -at
             V =0 , U = (5000)^1/2 , a=5
    substituting these we get
 t = (200)^1/2 = 10sqrt2 sec
