Answer:

A).
v_(0)=(1)/(t)(d_(f)-d_(t)-(1)/(2)at^(2))

B).
t=\sqrt{(2)/(a)(d_(f)-d_(t))}

Explanation:

The given expression is


d_(f)=d_(t)+v_(0)t+(1)/(2)at^(2)

A). We have to solve this expression for the value of
v_(0)


d_(f)-d_(t)=v_(0)t+(1)/(2)at^(2)


d_(f)-d_(t)-(1)/(2)at^(2)=v_(0)t


v_(0)=(1)/(t)(d_(f)-d_(t)-(1)/(2)at^(2))

B). If
v_(0)=0 then we have to find the value of t.

We plug in the value of
v_(0)=0 in the equation in Part A.


0=(1)/(t)(d_(f)-d_(t)-(1)/(2)at^(2))


d_(f)-d_(t)-(1)/(2)at^(2)=0


(1)/(2)at^(2)=d_(f)-d_(t)


t^(2)=(2)/(a)(d_(f)-d_(t))


t=\sqrt{(2)/(a)(d_(f)-d_(t))}
