A snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.5t³ + t² + 2t, where x and t are expressed in meter and seconds, respectively. Determine the acceleration (m/s²) when t=5 seconds.

One day you decide to walk 8 km [S], then 6km [W] and finally 3.5km [N]. Find your total displacement travelled and total distance travelled for the whole trip.
Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index (??), defined as ??=?^5/2?. In the expression, ?t is the duration of the acceleration, but ?a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, ?a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of ?g that the acceleration is equal to.

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 640 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position?Your answer is______mi;
Alice is riding a bike at 12 mph, but decides to sprint. She takes 0.7 s to accelerate to 19 mph. At constant acceleration, calculate her acceleration, a/(ft/s2). (Here are possibly convenient conversion aids: 60 mph = 1 mi/min = 88 ft/s. This equation is exact. You may wish to verify the equation. One mile = 60*88 ft, and one hour = 60*60 s.)
