Homework Statement
Initial acceleration of a particle moving in a straight line is a° and initial velocity is zero.
The acceleration reduces continuously to half in every t° seconds. What will be the terminal velocity(v)?
Homework Equations
[itex]\int[/itex]adt=[itex]\int[/itex]dv
The Attempt at a Solution
[itex]^{∞}_{0}[/itex][itex]\int[/itex]adt=[itex]^{v}_{0}[/itex][itex]\int[/itex]dv
(velocity will become terminal only when accelaration becomes 0 and since acceleration is becoming half after every time interval, it will become zero at infinity)
But to use this equation I need to find an expression for acceleration in terms of time. How should i do it? Should i use geometric progression?
