Homework Statement
A particle starts from rest and travels along a straight line with an acceleration a = (30-0.2v)ft\s^(2), where v is in ft/s. Determine the time when the velocity of the particle is v = 90 ft/s.
Homework Equations
1) ads=vdv
2) if a=g-kv
3) then v(t)=g/k[1-e^(-kt)]
The Attempt at a Solution
i solved it, the answer is 4.58 s but the question expected me to be able to manipulate the first two equations to acquire the third, or maybe introduce another equation, regardless could someone please explain the steps leading up to the third equation?
my first instinct was to divide everything by a to acquire 1=g/a-kt and integrate implicidly with respect to t, but realized i didnt know what i was doing when it came down to the a.
