Okay so for a) I used "v dv = a ds " and I got " (m/p)*((v2^3-v1^3)/3) + so = s " For b) I used a=dv/dt and I got " t= (m/p)*((v2^2-v1^2)/2) " Does that look reasonable?

Is it safe to assume that vo, so is = 0 according to the question?

Yes sorry I missed the t but that's what I meant. I'll give it a try and get back to you EDIT: and should I integrate and evaluate to v, vo, s and so?

Homework Statement A self propelled vehicle of mass m travels in a straight line. The vehicle has an engine which provides constant power P so that the acceleration 'a' at an instant is given by a=P/mv where v is the speed of the vehicle and all frictional resistance is neglected. Determine...
