You mean how are they related?
Sting from rest condition, let V = velocity, T = time, S = distance, A = acceleration
V = AT
S = 1/2 AT^2
If there is no acceleration, at constant velocity
S = VT

it is very simple........... velocity or speed = distance / time. acceleration = velocity / time but, we know that velocity = distance / time so just substitute the equation of velocity in acceleration...... so, finally we get , acceleration = distance/time*time so it is time squared.
They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.
There are 3 formula 1. Final velocity = starting velocity + (acceleration)(time) 2. Final velocity^2 = starting velocity^2 + 2(acceleration)(distance) 3. Distance = (starting velocity)(time) + 1/2(acceleration)(time^2) Use whichever you can use.
velocity = distance / time There are also some formulae involving acceleration; for example, in the case of constant acceleration: velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time If the acceleration is not constant, an integral is used instead.
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
