We know that in an inertial reference frame the motion follows an equation

ma=md2rdt2=F.ma = m\cdot \dfrac{d^2r}{dt^2} = F.

The constant acceleration means d2rdt2=a\dfrac{d^2r}{dt^2} =a , so

v(t)=drdt=at+v0v(t) = \dfrac{dr}{dt} = at+v_0

and r(t)=at22+v0t+r0.r(t) = a\dfrac{t^2}{2} + v_0t + r_0.

Here v0v_0 is the initial velocity and r0r_0 is the initial position.

The last equation can be rewritten in terms of the distance: s(t)=at22+v0ts(t) = a\dfrac{t^2}{2} + v_0t .

Here (https://thecuriousastronomer.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/newtons-equations-of-motion-revisited/) the author presents three additional equations ([3], [4], [5]), that can be obtained by rewriting the equation above in terms of the velocity after time t (v(t)). The most important of the three is [4], because it helps us to link the velocity and the distance without the time.
