Calculating the Height and Duration of a Bottle Rocket's Flight

[Mary0524]

1. A bottle rocket has an engine that accelerates it upward. Then it coasts to its highest point before returning to the ground. Assuming that the engine creates a net acceleration of 30 m/s2 for 0.5 s, how high does it go, and how long does it take to reach the ground again?

 

[Mary0524]

I know they net acceleration is 30m/s^2
and the time is 0.5s
my thing is how do we calculate distance with only acceleration and time ?
