Question

f an arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h(t)=35t−0.83t 2. (a) Find the velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height after t seconds is given by the equation:

$h(t)=35t-0.83t^2$

We know that the rate of change of displacement is equal to the velocity of an object.

$v(t)=\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=\dfrac{d(35t-0.83t^2)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=35-1.66t$

Velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds will be :

$v(t)=35-1.66t\\\\v(t)=35-1.66(3)\\\\v(t)=30.02\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
