Question

A particle is projected with velocity v0 along x-axis. A damping force is acting on the particle which is proportional to the square of the distance from the origin i.e. ma = x2. The distance at which the particle stops :

Correct answer
A

Step-by-step explanation

Given, speed of projection = v0

Damping force, F = ma = x2

a = x2 / m

Also,



Integrating both sides, we get
