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.

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.
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 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 can you find distance traveled when you are given the acceleration?
a=s/t, and s=d/t, so if we substitute... a = (d/t)/t --> a = d/t2 You must know both the acceleration and time in order to solve for the distance travelled.
