after experimenting a little I can conclude I went wrong somewhere. If I set initial velocity to 0 calculations work, if initial velocity !=0 , answer is incorrect. Looking at the formula it's easy to see if vi > 0 the height increases - opposite of what should happen. I'm thinking I need to...

Acceleration (a or 9.8 for simplicity); initial velocity (vf); distance (d); Initial velocity (vi) trying to find a formula to answer "how far would you have to fall to reach x speed" where x is input from user. Is it possible to answer this using two steps, first find time then find...
