6. The engine of a boat moving with velocity v0 is switched off. Due to resistance of water it experiences a deceleration whose magnitude is directly proportional to instantaneous velocity given by a kv , where k is a constant. Find the distance it covers before it stops. v Answer: s 0 k 7. Two stones are projected vertically up wards one after the other with same velocities
