An object moving with a speed of 6.25 m/s , is decelerated at a rate given by: (dv)/(dt)= -2.5sqrt(v) where v is the instantaneous speed The time taken by the object to come to rest would be:

A block of mass m= 1 kg , moving on a horizontal surface with speed v_(t)= 2 ms^(-1) enters a rough patch ranging from x= 0.10m" to "x= 2.01m . The retarding force F_(r ) on the block in this range is inversely proportional to x over this range, F_(r )= (-k)/(x)" for "0.1 lt x lt 2.01m = 0 " for "x lt 0.1m" and "x gt 2.01m where k= 0.5 J . What is the final kinetic energy and speed v_(f) of the block as it crosses this patch?
