We have 
dv/dt = -2.5 v^1/2
dt = dv/ -2.5 v^1/2
So the total time taken is
On integrating
t = [-0.8 v^1/2]06.25 
t = 2 sec.
So the object would take two seconds to come to rest.

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

We have
dv/dt = -2.5 v^1/2
dt = dv/ -2.5 v^1/2
So the total time taken is
On integrating
t = [-0.8 v^1/2]06.25
t = 2 sec.
So the object would take two seconds to come to rest.
