Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given that,

acceleration (a) = −- C (constant)

∴   \therefore\,\,\, dvdt{{dv} \over {dt}} = −- c

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, dvdx{{dv} \over {dx}} . dxdt{{dx} \over {dt}} = −- c

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, υ\upsilon dvdx{{dv} \over {dx}} = −- c

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, ∫v dv\int {v\,dv} = −- c ∫dx\int {dx}

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, v22{{{v^2}} \over 2} = −- cx + k

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, x = −- v22c{{{v^2}} \over {2c}} + kc{k \over c}

From this equation we can say option (c) is the correct graph.
