A particle moves along x-axis and is undergoing deceleration which is proportional to the cube of its instantaneous speed v. The initial speed is v0 and after describing a path length x = x0, the speed is reduced to v_0/2. Then (a) when x = 5x0, the speed is v_0/16 (b) velocity of the particle is given by v = v_0 e^(-x/x_0 ) (c) velocity of the particle is given by v = v_0/(1+x/x_0 ) (d) when x = 3x0, the speed is v_0/5

(c)

    Given a = –v3

    a = –kv3 where k is a constant of proportionality

    –v dv/dx = kv3

    Integrating ∫¦?v^(-2) dv?=-∫¦?k dx?

     –1/v = –kx + C [C is constant of integration]

    When x = 0, v = v0

    (-1)/v_0  = C

     1/v=-kx-1/v_0

     1/v-1/v_0  = kx            … (1)

    Also when x = x0, v = v_0/2

     2/v_0 -1/v_0  = kx0

     k = 1/(v_0 x_0 )

    From (1), we get v = v_0/(1+x/x_0 )

    When x = 3x0    v = v_0/4
