How to I isolate t? (time value)

sorry for the messy writing. it says: 6m=(6.5m/s)t+0.5(-9.81m/s^2)t^2

Heya!!!

Answer to your question:

All you need to do is to compare both the equations...
On comparing, you'll get
d=6m
v=6.5m/s
a=-9.81m/s^2
we know,

6= 6.5t -0.5 (9.81)t^2
6=6.5t-4.905 t^2
4.905 t^2-6.5t +6=0
now you can use quadratic eq. to solve this.

Hope it helps ^_^
