Find position of a particle at a time

~~If we have a force which changes depending on the position of a particle how can we find the position of the particle at some time t?~~
We can find its velocity if it has travelled a given distance
~~![hi](https://physics.codidact.com/uploads/NpgKqu4eLBacFz384Y8SdcL7)~~
~~but this equation doesnt involve time and i dont se how we can 'generate' time from a position varying force.Any help?~~

If we have a force which changes depending on the position of a particle, how can we find the position of the particle at some time $t$?
We can find its velocity if it has travelled a given distance
$$ \int^{r_f}_{r_o} F(r)dr = \frac{1}{2} * m_p(u_f^2 - u_o^2) $$
but this equation doesn't involve time and I don't see how we can 'generate' time from a position varying force. Any help?
