The solution of the differential equation \(\frac{d r}{d t}=-r t, r(0)=r_0\) is

  1. A \(r=r_0 e^{t^2 / 2}\)
  2. B \(r=-r_0 e^{t^2 / 2}\)
  3. C \(r=r_0 e^{-t^2 / 2}\)
  4. D \(r=-r_0 e^{-t^2 / 2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(r=r_0 e^{-t^2 / 2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\int \frac{dr}{r} = \int -t \, dt\) \(\ln|r| = -\frac{t^2}{2} + C\) \(r = A e^{-t^2/2}\) \(r_0 = A e^{-0^2/2} \Rightarrow A = r_0\) \(r = r_0 e^{-t^2/2}\)
