Displacement=Vi*time+ 1/2 a*t^2
D=6.1i+ (.49)(cos35i+sin35j)
figure that up, take the square root of the sums of squares of the i components and j components.
Direction: arctan=jcomponent/icomponent to the leeward of the original course.
You're sailboarding at 6.1m/s when a wind gust hits, lasting 6.8s accelerating your board at 0.49m/s2 at a 35∘ to your original direction.
