Projectile motion - solving for launch velocity

A ball is hit at an initial velocity, 30° (above the horizontal) off a 20 m high cliff. Solve for the launch velocity given that the ball hits the ground at a speed of 25.1 m/s

During a collision a car is brought to rest from a velocity of 30ft/s in a distance of 3ft. Determine the acceleration factor

I need to determine the acceleration factor, do I need to find time first and use the equation a=(vf-vi)/t? Or can I just use the acceleration factor equation f=|a/g|
