Question
A particle moves according to the equation dvdt = α - β v , where  α and β are constants. Find the velocity as a funtion of time.  Assume body starts from rest.
Options:
A .  v = (βα) (1 - e−βt)
B .  v = (βα) (e−βt)
C .  v = (αβ) (1 - e−βt)
D .  v = (αβ) (e−βt)
Answer: Option C
:
C
Take the relation given for acceleration and integrate with the given limits to obtain the desired function for velocity.
dvdt = α -β v v1 dvαβv =t0 dt
v = (αβ) (1 - eβt)
