A particle moves with an initial velocity v0 and retardation αv, where v is its velocity at any time t.
(a) The particle will cover a total distance v0/α.
(b) The particle will come to rest after a time 1/α.
(c) The particle will continue to move for a very long time.
(d) The velocity of the particle will become v0/2 after a time 1/α.
