You can't. You need either the final velocity or the acceleration of the object as well, and then you can substitute the known values into a kinematics equation to get the initial velocity.

How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
What is distance traveled in a given amount of time?
A speed. If the direction is relevant, a velocity.
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 do you calculate acceleration when given velocity and distance?
v2 - u2 = 2as so that a = (v2 - u2)/2s where u = initial velocity v = final velocity s = distance a = acceleration
How to find the height of the projectile launch if the angle velocity and the distance are given?
Get the value of initial velocity. Get the angle of projection. Break initial velocity into components along x and y axis. Apply the equation of motion .

How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can only know the distance for sure if acceleration or deceleration is constant. Add the start and end velocities and divide by two and then multiply by the time to get your distance.
How do you find the initial velocity given only distance?
You cannot.
What is distance traveled by the body in a given direction in the unit time called?
velocity
What is distance traveled in a given amount of time?
A speed. If the direction is relevant, a velocity.
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 do you find the final velocity given only distancetimeand initial velocity?
v = 2s/t - u where u=initial velocity, v=final velocity, s = distance and t = time
How do you get the final velocity given only distance traveled and initial velocity?
If that's all the information you have, then you can't. Here's an example: Brian left home driving 30 miles per hour. How fast was he going when he had covered 10 miles ?
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.
How do you calculate acceleration when given velocity and distance?
v2 - u2 = 2as so that a = (v2 - u2)/2s where u = initial velocity v = final velocity s = distance a = acceleration
What is the distance traveled over a given time interval?
That is called speed, or - if the direction is also relevant - velocity.
How to find the height of the projectile launch if the angle velocity and the distance are given?
Get the value of initial velocity. Get the angle of projection. Break initial velocity into components along x and y axis. Apply the equation of motion .
