2. A motorcycle rider is travelling due east when he passed a small town. At the end of the town, he starts accelerating at a constant rate of 4 m/s per second. At t=0 he is 5.0 meters east from the end of the small town and continued going to that direction at 15 m/s. a. Find his displacement after 2 seconds. *
