Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity of arrow, u = 65 m/s
Final velocity of arrow, v = 35 m/s
Time taken, t = 10 seconds
The acceleration of the arrow is given by the rate of change of velocity per unit time. It is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{35\ m/s-65\ m/s}{10\ s}[/tex]
[tex]a=-3\ m/s^2[/tex]
The arrow in flight is decelerating. Hence, this is the required solution.
