Question 73
Edward, the author of this test, had to escape from prison to work in the grading room today. He stopped to rest at a place $1,875$ feet from the prison and was spotted by a guard with a crossbow. The guard fired an arrow with an initial velocity of $100\ \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$. At the same time, Edward started running away with an acceleration of $1\ \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. Assuming that air resistance causes the arrow to decelerate at $1\ \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ and that it does hit Edward, how fast was the arrow moving at the moment of impact (in $\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$)?
