TopicVariable Force

7 A particle of mass 20 kg moves along a straight horizontal line. At time \(t\) seconds the velocity of the particle is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). A resistance force of magnitude \(10 \sqrt { v }\) newtons acts on the particle while it is moving. At time \(t = 0\) the velocity of the particle is \(25 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Show that, at time \(t\) $$v = \left( \frac { 20 - t } { 4 } \right) ^ { 2 }$$
  2. State the value of \(t\) when the particle comes to rest.
