The amount of time it would take an object to travel a distance with constant acceleration depends on its initial velocity, according to the equation: d = vit + 0.5at2 Where d is displacement, vi is initial velocity, t is time, and a is acceleration. Note: if the object starts from rest, its initial velocity, logically, is zero.

Taiga-- With the distance the mass moved and the time it took, all you can find
is its average speed during that time.
-- If you had its two different distances at two different times, then you could
find an acceleration.
-- With an acceleration and the mass, you can then find the force on it.
If you assume constant acceleration, then, when both initial and final velocity are zero, the velocity is zero all the time, and there is no movement. If the acceleration is variable, you can integrate to find the distance covered; in this case, if the resulting expression is not too complex, you might be able to solve for time.

How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can use the equation: distance = (initial velocity + final velocity) / 2 * time. This formula assumes constant acceleration.
To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line you must calculate the charge in distance during unit of time?
To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you must calculate the change in velocity during a unit of time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, not distance. It is given by the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
Where is acceleration represented on a distance verses time squared graph?
In general, nowhere, because acceleration is the second derivative of distance with respect to time. However, in the special case of a constant acceleration, the acceleration will be twice the slope of the line, since distance = 0.5 * time squared.
What is the formula for speed and acceleration?
The formula for speed is speed = distance / time, where speed is measured in m/s or km/h. The formula for acceleration is acceleration = change in velocity / time taken, where acceleration is measured in m/s².
How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?
Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)
