Question

The acceleration of a particle is given by a =-ks^2,where a is in meters per second squared, k is a constant, and s is in meters. Determine the velocity of

the particle as a function of its position s. Evaluate your expression for s = 5 m if k = 0.1 m^-1s-² and the initial conditions at time t = 0 are so = 3 m and V0=10 m/s.
