Dear vardaan

a=xv1/2

-dv/dt = xv1/2

-dv/v1/2 =xdt

intigrate

 -2v1/2 =xt +c

given at t=0  ,V=Vo

so -2vo1/2 =c

so -2v1/2 =xt -2vo1/2

     v1/2 =-xt/2 + vo1/2  ................1

 when particle come to rest then V=0

       so     0= -xt/2 + vo1/2

               t =2/x  vo1/2 sec

 

now again  v =(-xt/2 + vo1/2)2

                   ds/dt = (-xt/2 + vo1/2)2

                 ds = (-xt/2 + vo1/2)2 dt

            os ds  =ot (-xt/2 + vo1/2)2 dt

                S = -2/3x (-xt/2 + vo1/2)3  limit o to t

                   = -2/3x (-xt/2 + vo1/2)3   +2/3x ( vo1/2)3

now put t =2/x  vo1/2

                  S =  2/3x  vo3/2

initial velocity=v, final velocity=v1=0 acc. to the equations of motion v1^2=v^2+2as

where s=distance travelled, a=deceleration of particle

0=v^2-2*xv^1/2*s

v^2=2*xv^1/2*s

v^1/2*v/x*2=s(distance travelled by particle)

2)initial velocity=v, final velocity=v1=0, acc. to equations of motion,

v1=v+at

0=v+at

v=at(as particle is retarding)

v=xv^1/2*t

t=v^1/2/x(time taken)
