Physics homework please help!?

If someone could help me with these questions that would be great!

1. A marble accelerates and travels 32m in 12s what is its acceleration and final velocity?

2. A object is thrown up to a balcony (25m) what velocity does it need to reach it.

also there was one for question but i couldn t remember all the information but it did ask how far an object traveled in 5s what equation would i use to find this info. I THINK it gave the velocity and

    1. A marble accelerates and travels 32m in 12s what is its acceleration and final velocity?

    2x = V*t

    V = 2x/t = 64/12 = 5.333 m/sec

    a = V/t = 16/3/12 = 16/36 = 4/9 of m/sec^2

    2. A object is thrown up to a balcony (25m) what velocity does it need to reach it.

    Conservation of energy shall apply !!!

    V = √2gh = √50*9.8 = 22.14 m/sec

    3.

    x = V*t at constant speed

    x = 1/2a*t^2 at constant acceleration

    We have answered 1. See https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20161...

    And I have also answered 2. See https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20161...

    If you have a time and initial velocity plus acceleration then you use s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

    If you have time, initial velocity and final velocity you use s = ( U+v) / 2 * t

    If you have starting and ending velocities, the distance moved but NOT the time you use v^2 = u^2 + 2as
