To find the acceleration if the time is not given, you will need to know the velocity and the distance. Then, use this equation: d = vt + (1/2)at2 to solve the problem by plugging in your numbers for the distance and the velocity.

Not enough information. One equation you can often use is Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration Which, when solved for acceleration, gives you: acceleration = force / mass
You need velocity at two points in time, and the acceleration must be constant. If the initial velocity is u ms-1 and the final velocity is v ms-1, and the time interval is t then t = (v - u)/a s.
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.
A stone that falls from a ledge and takes 8 second to hit the ground travels a distance of 313.6 meters. You can find this answer by substituting 8 seconds for time in the physics formula d = 1/2 x acceleration x (t squared), where d = distance, acceleration is given as a =9.8 meters/second squared, and t squared is time in seconds.
Take the elapsed time away from the end time.
