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
