Cynthia competes in life competitions.  She rides solo on a small sled 3 inches off the ground down icy slopes, turning only by use of her feet and the shifting of her weight on the sled.  During the initial stage of one downhill life, Cynthia accelerated from rest at 6.84 m/s/d for 2.39 seconds.  Determine the distance she moved during this acceleration phase.
