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}

Solve the attached question<br><br>#yohaniJaman<br><br><br><br>​
aksik [14]

HETY is a parallelogram.

HT and EY are diagonals. We know that diagonals divides the parallelogram into two equal parts.

So ar(HET) = ar(HTY)

And, ar(HEY) = ar(EYT) now, in AHET, diagonal EY bisects the line segment HT and also the AHET,

∴ar(AHOE) = ar(AEOT)

Similarly in AETY

ar(ΔΕΟΤ) = ar(ΔΤΟΥ)

And in AHTY,

ar(ATOY) = ar(AHOY)

That means diagonals in parallelogram divides it into four equal parts.

Hence Proofed.
