To solve the problem, we can use the equations of uniformly accelerated motion. We'll start by identifying the variables given:

- Distance (x) = 110 m
- Initial velocity (Vi) = 0 m/s (starts from rest)
- Final velocity (Vf) = ?
- Acceleration (a) = ?
- Time (t) = 5.21 seconds

We can use the following kinematic equation that relates distance, initial velocity, time, and acceleration:

\[ x = Vi \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} a \cdot t^2 \]

Since Vi = 0, the equation simplifies to:

\[ x = \frac{1}{2} a \cdot t^2 \]

Substituting the known values into the equation:

\[ 110 = \frac{1}{2} a \cdot (5.21)^2 \]

Now, calculating \( (5.21)^2 \):

\[ (5.21)^2 \approx 27.1441 \]

Substituting this value back into the equation:

\[ 110 = \frac{1}{2} a \cdot 27.1441 \]

Now, multiplying both sides by 2 to isolate \( a \):

\[ 220 = a \cdot 27.1441 \]

Now, solve for \( a \):

\[ a = \frac{220}{27.1441} \approx 8.10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Now, filling in the blanks:

1. Question Blank 1 (x): **110**
2. Question Blank 2 (Vi): **0**
3. Question Blank 3 (Vf): **Compute Vf using Vf = Vi + a*t**
\[ Vf = 0 + (8.10)(5.21) \approx 42.21 \, \text{m/s} \]
4. Question Blank 4 (a): **8.10**
5. Question Blank 5 (t): **5.21**
6. Which equation should be used? **\( x = Vi \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} a \cdot t^2 \)**

So the final answers are:

1. **110**
2. **0**
3. **42.21**
4. **8.10**
5. **5.21**
6. **\( x = Vi \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} a \cdot t^2 \)**
