Variable Acceleration 2. 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 deter- mine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.5t+ + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when (a) the position of the boarder when t= 5.5 sec. (b) the velocity of the boarder when t= 5.5 sec. (c) the acceleration of the boarder when t= 5.5 sec.
