Edward had to escape from prison to work in the HMMT grading room. He stopped to rest at a place distance 1,8751,875 from the prison and was spotted by a guard with a crossbow. The guard fired an arrow with an initial velocity of 100100. At the same time, Edward started running away with an acceleration of 11. Assuming that air resistance causes the arrow to decelerate at 11 and that it does hit Edward, how fast was the arrow moving at the moment of impact?
