    The deceleration experienced by a moving motor boat, after its engine is cut-off is given\[\frac{dv}{dt}=-k{{v}^{3}}\]where \[k\] is constant and \[{{v}_{0}}\] is the magnitude of the velocity at time \[t\] after the cut off is

    A) \[{{v}_{0}}{{c}^{-kt}}\]                  

    B) \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\sqrt{2v_{0}^{2}kt+1}}\]

    C) \[{{v}_{0}}\]                                      

    D) \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Here,     \[\frac{dv}{dt}=-k{{v}^{3}}\] or            \[\frac{dv}{{{v}^{3}}}=-kdt\] or            \[\int_{{{v}_{0}}}^{v}{\frac{dv}{{{v}^{3}}}=\int_{0}^{t}{-kdt}}\] or            \[\left[ \frac{-1}{2{{v}^{2}}} \right]_{{{v}_{0}}}^{v}=-kdt\] or            \[\frac{1}{2v_{0}^{2}}-\frac{1}{2{{v}^{2}}}=-kt\] or            \[\frac{1}{2{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{2{{v}^{2}}}+kt\] or            \[\frac{1}{2{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{1+2v_{0}^{2}kt}{2v_{0}^{2}}\] or            \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2v_{0}^{2}kt+1}\] or            \[v=\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\sqrt{(2v_{0}^{2}kt+1)}}\]
