Answer

$$ \begin{aligned} & s=\frac{v_0}{k}\left(1-e^{-k u}\right) \\ & a=-k v_0 e^{-k u} \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

Position: $$ \begin{aligned} (\rightarrow) \quad d t & =\frac{d s}{v} \\ \int_0^t d t & =\int_0^t \frac{d s}{v_0-k s} \\ t_0^t & =-\left.\frac{1}{k} \ln \left(v_0-k s\right)\right|_0 ^x \\ t & =\frac{1}{k} \ln \left(\frac{v_0}{v_0-k s}\right) \\ e^{k x} & =\frac{v_0}{v_0-k s} \\ s & =\frac{v_0}{k}\left(1-e^{-k x}\right) \end{aligned} $$ Velocity: $$ \begin{aligned} & v=\frac{d s}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left[\frac{v_0}{k}\left(1-e^{-k x}\right)\right] \\ & v=v_0 e^{-k t} \end{aligned} $$ Acceleration: $$ \begin{aligned} & a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(v_0 e^{-k t}\right) \\ & a=-k v_0 e^{-k t} \end{aligned} $$
