Part A

Given that a= \frac{dv}{dt} =-kv^2

Then, 

\int dv= -kv^2\int dt \\  \\ \Rightarrow v(t)=-kv^2t+c

For v(0)=v_0, then

v(0)=-kv^2(0)+c=v_0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow c=v_0

Thus, v(t)=-kv(t)^2t+v_0

For v(t)= \frac{1}{2} v_0, we have

\frac{1}{2} v_0=-k\left( \frac{1}{2} v_0\right)^2t+v_0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} kv_0^2t=v_0- \frac{1}{2} v_0= \frac{1}{2} v_0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow kv_0t=2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow t= \frac{2}{kv_0}


Part B

Recall that from part A, 

v(t)= \frac{dx}{dt} =-kv^2t+v_0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow dx=-kv^2tdt+v_0dt \\  \\ \Rightarrow\int dx=-kv^2\int tdt+v_0\int dt+a \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=- \frac{1}{2} kv^2t^2+v_0t+a

Now, at initial position, t = 0 and v=v_0, thus we have

x=a

and when the velocity drops to half its value, v= \frac{1}{2} v_0 and t= \frac{2}{kv_0}

Thus,

x=- \frac{1}{2} k\left( \frac{1}{2} v_0\right)^2\left( \frac{2}{kv_0} \right)^2+v_0\left( \frac{2}{kv_0} \right)+a \\  \\ =- \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{2}{k} +a

Thus, the distance the particle moved from its initial position to when its velocity drops to half its initial value is given by

- \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{2}{k} +a-a \\  \\ = \frac{2}{k} - \frac{1}{2k} = \frac{3}{2k}

Volume of a cylinder = PI x r^2 x H

r = 4 so r^2 = 4^2 = 16

h = 3

Volume = 3.14 x 16 x 3 = 150.72 ft^3

 it doesn't say how to round the answer so you may need to round it
