Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\frac{b v^{3}}{M(t)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\operatorname{dm}( t )}{ dt }= bv ^{2}\)

\(F _{\text {thast }}= v \frac{ dm }{ dt }\)

Force on statellile \(=-\overrightarrow{ v } \frac{ dm ( t )}{ dt }\)

\(M ( t ) a =- v \left( bv ^{2}\right)\)

\(a = - \frac{ bv ^{3}}{ M ( t )}\)
