Answer:
a) [tex]v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], b) [tex]v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Explanation:
a) The equation for vertical velocity is obtained by deriving the function with respect to time:
[tex]v(t) = 23.5 -9.8\cdot t[/tex]
The velocities at given instants are, respectivelly:
[tex]v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
