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.
