Question 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 determine her displacement as a function of time given by the image below, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine the displacement, average velocity, average speed and average acceleration for the time period from t=2 seconds to t=7 seconds. Write your answer in the format (d = ft/s; a_av = ft; v_avg = ft/s ; V_sp = ft/s^2) * x = 0.5t3 + t2 + 2t

Shannon decides to check the accuracy of her speedometer. She adjusts her speed to read exactly 70 mph on her speedometer and holds this steady, measuring the time between successive mile markers separated by exactly 1.00 mile. If she measures a time of 54 s, is her speedometer accurate? If not, is the speed it shows too high or too low?
