NASA trains astronauts in "zero-g" by flying a C-9 jet plane in a parabolic path,the so called "Weightless Wonder" or the "Vomit Comet" flights.One path the plane takes is expressed as y = y_o + 0.8 x - 2.18 $\times$ 10^-4 x² where y_o is the highest point,and x and y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates (in m).What is the horizontal speed of the plane? A)50 m/s B)100 m/s C)150 m/s D)200 m/s E)250 m/s
