What formula can I use the time it takes an object to travel 402m if it starts at rest and accelerates at 17m/s?

The formula for calculating object travel time is time = distance / speed. For a distance of 402m, the formula would be time = 402m / speed.
The speed of the object can be determined by dividing the distance traveled by the time it took to cover that distance. The formula for speed is speed = distance / time. So, if you know the distance and the time taken, you can calculate the speed of the object.
Yes, the formula for calculating object travel time can be used for any distance as long as the distance is given in the same unit as the speed. For example, if the speed is given in meters per second, the distance should also be in meters.
The unit of measurement for object travel time can be in seconds, minutes, hours, or any other unit of time. This depends on the units used for distance and speed. For example, if the distance is given in meters and the speed is given in meters per second, the time would be in seconds.
Yes, this formula can be used for calculating travel time for objects with varying speeds. However, the speed used in the formula should be the average speed of the object over the given distance. If the speed of the object is changing, you can use the average speed calculated by dividing the total distance by the total time taken.
