The acceleration experienced by a moving boat after its engine is cut off, is given by a = − kv³, where k is a constant. If v₀ is the magnitude of velocity at cut off, then the magnitude of the velocity at time t after the cut off is

• $\frac{{\mathrm{v}}_0}{2{{\mathrm{ktv}}_0}^2}$

• $\frac{{\mathrm{v}}_0}{1 + 2{{\mathrm{ktv}}_0}^2}$

• $\frac{{\mathrm{v}}_0}{\sqrt{1 - 2{{\mathrm{kv}}_0}^2}}$

• $\frac{{\mathrm{v}}_0}{\sqrt{1 + 2{{\mathrm{ktv}}_0}^2}}$
