A particle having a velocity \(v=v_0\) at \(t=0\) is decelerated at the rate \(|a|=\alpha\sqrt v,\) where \(\alpha\) is a positive constant.
\(\mathrm{(A)}\) The particle comes to rest at \(t=\dfrac{2\sqrt{v_0}}{\alpha} \)
\(\mathrm{(B)}\) The particle will come to rest at infinity.
\(\mathrm{(C)}\) The distance travelled by the particle before coming to rest is \(\dfrac{2v_0^{3/2}}{\alpha}\)
