CALC A lunar lander is descending toward the moons

Chapter 2, Problem 2.58

(choose chapter or problem)

A lunar lander is descending toward the moon's surface. Until the lander reaches the surface, its height above the surface of the moon is given by \(y(t)=b-c t+d t^{2}\), where b = 800 m is the initial height of the lander above the surface, c = 600 m/s, and \(d=1.05\mathrm{\ m}/\mathrm{s}^2\). (a) What is the initial velocity of the lander, at t = 0? (b) What is the velocity of the lander just before it reaches the lunar surface?
