Suppose the velocity v of a motorboat coasting in water satisfies the differential equation dv/dt = kv2. The initial speed of the motorboat is v(0) = 10 meters per second (m/s), and v is decreasing at the rate of 1 m/s2 when v = 5 m/s. How long does it take for the velocity of the boat to decrease to 1 m/s? To 1/10 m/s? When does the boat come to a stop?
