Homework Statement
A particle is moving along a straight line such that when it is at the origin it has a velocity of 5m/s. If it begins to decelerate at a rate of a=(-2.5v^(1/2)) m/s^2, where v is in m/s, determine the distance it travels before it stops
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I integrated the above expression twice with respect to time, to get an expression of s=(2(v^(5/3) t^2))/3+C1+C2. Where C1 ns C2 are constants. I've ended up with more variables than I have the know how to handle. I don't know what to do with the initial velocity. I thought of integrating with respect to v but it didn't make sense. Please help.
