Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the equation of motion that relates final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration and time. The equation is:

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

In this case, the final velocity (v) is -8.00 m/s (negative because the arrow is moving downward), the initial velocity (u) is 15.0 m/s, and the acceleration (a) is -9.8 m/s² (negative because gravity is pulling the arrow downward).

We can plug these values into the equation and solve for time (t):

-8.00 m/s = 15.0 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) * t

Rearranging the equation to solve for t gives:

t = (-8.00 m/s - 15.0 m/s) / -9.8 m/s²

t = 23.0 m/s / 9.8 m/s²

t = 2.35 s

So, the arrow is moving downward at a speed of 8.00 m/s after 2.35 seconds. The correct answer is 2.35 s.
