How long does it take a car to travel 30.0m if it accelerates at a rate of 2.00m/s^2?
Given
Distance- 30.0m
A-2.00m/s^2
Do I need to find vi?

1MileCrash said:You must need to assume it is initially at rest, otherwise the problem is incomplete.
To calculate time when given acceleration and distance, you can use the formula t = √(2d/a), where t is time, d is distance, and a is acceleration.
Acceleration should be in meters per second squared (m/s^2) and distance should be in meters (m) when using the formula t = √(2d/a).
No, the formula t = √(2d/a) is only applicable for constant acceleration. For non-constant acceleration, the calculation of time will be more complicated.
As acceleration or distance increases, time will decrease. Conversely, as acceleration or distance decreases, time will increase.
Yes, there are other formulas that can be used to calculate time when given acceleration and distance, such as t = (vf - vi)/a, where vf is final velocity, vi is initial velocity, and a is acceleration. This formula takes into account the change in velocity over time.
