Now that I think about it, you even don't need to use energy equation. Its just a habit of mine because its so much easier to work with.

Anyway, just use that first equation I showed twice. First solve for vi given v, s, and si. Then do it again for s (v = 0, si = 0) and your calculated value for vi. It should work out the same way.

Oh yeah, it happens. And sadly, the real world doesn't even care how many numbers you want. It might give you 2 when you need 10, or 10 when you need 2. Reality sucks.
