Hey I have been looking at the problem for a long time and for some reason I can't think of how to solve for it... I know I have to do some Calc to figure it out.
Ok so here it is
The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = -0.05[tex][v]^{2}[/tex], where
a is expressed in m/[tex]^{2}[/tex] and v in m/s. The particle starts at s=0m with a velocity of 5 m/s. Determine (a) the velocity v of the particle after it travels 10 m, (b) the distance s the particle will travel before its velocity drops to 2 m/s, (c) the distance s the particle will
travel before it comes to rest.
so far I think what I have to do is take the derivative of a which ends up being -.1v but after that I am stuck because now I have velocity as a function of velocity... any ideas? I realize I am most likely doing this totally wrong.
