Figuring out time when you have acceleration and distance.

[cneedshelp]

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?

You must need to assume it is initially at rest, otherwise the problem is incomplete.

You must need to assume it is initially at rest, otherwise the problem is incomplete.

So now I have
Distance- 30.0m
a-2.00m/s^2
vi-0m/s
So can i now use the d=1/2at^2 formula?
But we're solving for t
making the equation t, taking the square root of 2d/a right?
