When an object falls vertically downward, its velocity increases according to the following equation:
2aS=vf2 - vi2 or ,
2*10*S=v2, or
v=(20S)1/2.
There is a second case in which a body is thrown vertically upward, here its velocity decreases as it moves upward. Here its velocity becomes zero as it reaches the highest point

If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What do distance time graphs show?
Distance time graph shows the distance an object has traveled with respect to time. Time is plotted on the horizontal axis and distance is plotted on the vertical axis. The slope of the graph at any particular point in time will be equal to the instantaneous velocity at that point in time.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance called?
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance is called the average speed, r, if you are also considering its direction, its average velocity. Velocity = distance in one direction/time Speed = distance/time For example: A car that travels 60 miles in a time of 2 hours has a speed of 30 miles per hour.
How do you find the initial velocity given only the distance and the time traveled?
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.
