Solution

The correct options are
A the terminal speed is 2 m/s.
B the speed varies with the time as v=2(1e3t) m/s.
D the magnitude of the initial acceleration is 6 m/s2.
Given, dvdt=63v
Re- writing it as, dv2v=3 dt.
Given v=0 at t=0. Integrating both sides
v0dv2v=3t0dt,
to get
v=2(1e3t).....(1)
Thus, terminal velocity of the body is
vt=limt2(1e3t)=2 m/s
The acceleration of the body is
a=dvdt=ddt(2(1e3t)=6e3t
This gives initial acceleration as 6 m/s2.
Graphs plotted of at, vt and st are shown as below

When acceleration is half the initial value i.e a=3 m/s2 , then
3=6e3t
e3t=12
Put this in equation (1) to get velocity at this instant of time
v=1 m/s2
Hence, option (c) is incorrect.
