Straightforward example

 ,

Suppose a camel on a bicycle has a constant acceleration of tex2html_wrap_inline1500 . You have a stop watch and when it passes some point you like to call ``go", the camel has a velocity of 4 m/s. Where is it relative to ``go" after 2 s, and how fast is it going at that time?

Don't look at the solution until you've thought about this for a bit.
