Best Answer

Distance = (1/2 of acceleration) x (time squared)

You can change this around to solve it for acceleration or time.

(Time squared) = (distance)/(half of acceleration)

Time = the square root of [ (2 x distance)/(acceleration) ]

Be careful . . .

This is only true if the distance and the speed are both zero when the time begins.

If the distance and velocity are both zero when time=0, then

Distance = 1/2 (acceleration) x (time)2

How do you find the acceleration if time is not given?

To find the acceleration if the time is not given, you will need to know the velocity and the distance. Then, use this equation: d = vt + (1/2)at2 to solve the problem by plugging in your numbers for the distance and the velocity.


How do you find acceleration when only given distances?

You can't you need the time and distance (once you have that it's just distance/time).


How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?

Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.


How to find out the velocity when acceleration and distance is given?

The equation that does involve time is.. v² = v₀² + 2ad


Measurements of acceleration are given in units of?

(any unit of length or distance) divided by (any unit of time)2 is a unit of acceleration.


How do you find the acceleration and initial velocity given only the distance and time?

If you are only given total distance and total time you cannot. If you are given distance as a function of time, then the first derivative of distance with respect to time, ds/dt, gives the velocity. Evaluate this function at t = 0 for initial velocity. The second derivative, d2s/dt2 gives the acceleration as a function of time.


When radius and height and distance is given how to find magnitude of centripetal acceleration?

There is no information that shows any relationship with time. Since acceleration is a variable related to time, it is impossible to answer the question.


What is the formula used to find distance?

The distance travelled by an object in a given time is given by:Distance = Speed * TimeAlternatively for an object that is accelerating:Distance = (Speed of object before acceleration is applied * Time) + (0.5 * Acceleration * Time squared)If the object is accelerating from speed zero, the first set of brackets is irrelevant.Also, if the object is falling to the ground, acceleration = 9.81


What is the formula for speed and acceleration?

formula for speed is distance traveled over time taken to cover distance acceleration is given by change in velocity per unit time


How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?

Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)


What is the acceleration for meters per second?

This is imposible to calculate. In order to find acceleration, knowlege of at least 3 of these variables must be given: initial speed, final speed, distance, and time.


How do you find acceleration with given velocity and time?

Time equals velocity divided by acceleration. t=v/a
