#a(5) = -70 hat i + 28 hat j #

#v (t) = 5t-t^3 hati + 3t^2-2t hatj#

#a(t) = (dv)/dt#

#a(t) = 5-3t^2 hat i + 6t-2 hat j #

#a(5) = 5-3xx5^2 hat i + 6xx5-2 hat j #

#a(5) = 5-75 hat i + 30-2 hat j #

#a(5) = -70 hat i + 28 hat j #

Here, #hat i # denotes #x# direction and #hatj# denotes #y# direction.
