How do you isolate time in the kinematic equation containing displacement, acceleration, and time?

Here you'll see how to algebraically isolate time in the d=1/2a•t2 equation.

Summary

  1. d- displacement
  2. a- acceleration
  3. t- time

Notes

    1. a- acceleration
    1. The square root of t2 is just t
    1. d- displacement, a- acceleration
    2. vi- initial velocity
    3. d= 1/2a•t2 comes from d=vi•t+1/2at2, with vi=0
