Velocity....?

It has been claimed that an insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) is the best jumper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at 4100 m/s2 over a distance of 1.7 mm as it straightens its specially designed "jumping legs."

(a) Assuming a uniform acceleration, what is the velocity of the insect after it has accelerated through this short distance? (m/s)

(b) how long did it take to reach that velocity? (ms)
