-->A particle is slowing down from initial velocity v_0=10 with acceleration a=-(1+2v), where v is velocity.
Find
a) v(t)
b) time to stop
c) stopping distance
What I have so far
A) V=Vo+at
v=10+(-1-2v)t
v+2vt=10-t
v(1+2t)=10-t
v(t)=(10-t)/(1+2t)
B) V=0m/s at stop
0=(10-t)/(1+2t)
0=10-t
t=10s
C) This is where I'm stuck, I think I have to integrate V=(10-t)/(1+2t), t=0,10 in order to get my distance covered in t seconds. But I'm not quite sure?
