The deceleration of a car traveling on a straight highway is a function of its instantaneous velocity $v$ given by $\omega = a \sqrt{v}$, where $a$ is a constant. If the initial velocity of the car is $v_0$, the distance the car will travel and the time it takes before it stops are:

  • A
    $\frac{2 v_0^{3/2}}{3 a}, \frac{2 \sqrt{v_0}}{a}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 v_0^{3/2}}{2 a}, \frac{1}{2 a} \sqrt{v_0}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 a}{2} v_0^{3/2}, \frac{a}{2} \sqrt{v_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3 a} v_0, \frac{2}{a} v_0$
