$A$ particle is projected with velocity $v_0$ along the $x$-axis. The deceleration of the particle is proportional to the square of the distance from the origin,i.e.,$a = -\alpha x^2$. The distance at which the particle stops is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{3v_0}{2\alpha}}$
  • B
    $(\frac{3v_0}{2\alpha})^{1/3}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3v_0^2}{2\alpha}}$
  • D
    $(\frac{3v_0^2}{2\alpha})^{1/3}$
