A stone is thrown upward on the moon with its height (in feet) after t seconds given by h(t) = 20 − 5t². Include units with your answer.

a) What is the acceleration of the stone at 2 seconds?

b) What is the average velocity of the stone between 1 and 3 seconds?

c) What is the instantaneous velocity of the stone at 2 seconds?

d) With what velocity does the stone hit the ground?

Expert Solution

Note: I think there might be a mistake in the question as the height function implies to initial velocity, but the question mentions that the stone is thrown upward.

Still, I have done whatever the question asked me to do
