    The acceleration experienced by a moving boat after its engine is cut off, is given by \[a=-k{{v}^{3}},\] where k is a constant. If \[{{v}_{0}}\] is the magnitude of velocity at cut off, then the magnitude of the velocity at time t after the cut off is :

    A)  \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{2ktv_{0}^{2}}\]                            

    B)  \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{1+2ktv_{0}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\sqrt{1-2kv_{0}^{2}}}\]                            

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Given, acceleration \[a=-k{{v}^{3}}\] Initial velocity at cut-off, \[{{v}_{1}}={{v}_{0}}\] Initial time of cut-off, \[t=0\] and final time after cut off,\[{{t}_{2}}=t\] Again,                   \[a=\frac{dv}{dt}=-k{{v}^{3}}\] or                            \[\frac{dv}{{{v}^{3}}}=-kdt\] Integrating both sides, with in the condition ofmotion \[\int_{{{v}_{0}}}^{v}{\frac{dv}{{{v}^{3}}}=-\int_{0}^{t}{k\,dt}}\]                 or            \[\left[ -\frac{1}{2{{v}^{2}}} \right]_{{{v}_{0}}}^{v}=-[kt]_{0}^{t}\]                 or            \[\frac{1}{2{{v}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{2v_{0}^{2}}=kt\]                 or            \[v=\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\sqrt{1+2kt\,v_{0}^{2}}}\]
