In your equation S = Ut+ .5At^2, the only thing that changes from your first problem is that now u is not 0.
You will end up with a quadratic equation for t. Pick the positive solution.
Have you ever solved a quadratic equation?Rumplestiltskin said:How would I isolate t?

Solving an Another SUVAT problem requires using the equations of motion, which are S = ut + 1/2at^2, V = u + at, and V^2 = u^2 + 2as. You will need to have values for at least three of the variables (S, u, a, t, or V) and then use algebraic manipulation to solve for the unknown variable.
The units for the variables in Another SUVAT problems depend on the system of measurement being used. In the SI system, S is measured in meters (m), u and V are measured in meters per second (m/s), a is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2), and t is measured in seconds (s).
Yes, Another SUVAT equations can be used for any type of motion as long as the acceleration is constant. This includes motion in a straight line, motion with changing velocity, and motion with changing acceleration.
The SUVAT equations are a set of four equations used to solve problems involving motion with constant acceleration. Another SUVAT equations are a set of three equations used to solve similar problems, but with a different set of variables.
No, Another SUVAT problems do not take into account air resistance. These equations assume that the object is moving through a vacuum and are only accurate for objects with constant acceleration.
