according to work energy theorem change in KE is equal to work done 
m=200kg ,v=8m/s ,u=0
here work done = force×displacement =F×X =500X
change in KE =(1/2)mv2 = (1/2)200×64 -0 =6400
then 6400 =500X
displacement X= 6500/500 = 12.8m
now we need to find the time t=?
using the equation v=u+at
we have f=500=ma =200a 
then a =5/2
substituting 
8=0+(5/2)t
t=16/5=3.2sec
