Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics

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: $x=0.5 t^{3}+t^{2}+2 t$ where $x$ and $t$ are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when $t=5$ seconds.
