Homework Statement
If an arrow is shot upward on the moon with a velocity of 59 m / s, its height in meters after t seconds is given by h = 59(t) - .83(t)². Find the instantaneous velocity after one second.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
h = 59(1) - .83(1)2
h = 58.17
h = 59(1.0000001)- .83(1.0000001)2
h = 59.0000059 - 0.8300001660000083
h = 58.1700057339999917
v = 58.1700057339999917 - 58.17 / .0000001
v = 57.339999917
thats as far as i get. i think the instant vel would be 57.3 m / s because it won't take the answer 57 or 57.5.
can someone help me?
