2 A car of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) starts from rest at a point O and moves along a straight horizontal road. The resultant force in the direction of motion has power \(P\) watts, given by \(P = m \left( k ^ { 2 } - v ^ { 2 } \right)\), where \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) is the velocity of the car and \(k\) is a positive constant. The displacement from O in the direction of motion is \(x \mathrm {~m}\).

1. Show that \(\left( \frac { k ^ { 2 } } { k ^ { 2 } - v ^ { 2 } } - 1 \right) \frac { \mathrm { d } v } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 1\), and hence find \(x\) in terms of \(v\) and \(k\).
2. How far does the car travel before reaching \(90 \%\) of its terminal velocity?
