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 = 0.25t3 + t2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. x is measured along the surface of the hill. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when t = 7.5 seconds. The position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder are ____ft, ____ft/s, and ____ft/s2, respectively when t = 7.5 seconds.

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.)
