The correct answer is: 17 m/s

Force on the object is F=k-βt2



Acceleration of the particle,


a=Fm=k-βt2m


Acceleration is zero when k=βt2 or t2=kβ or t2=82t=2 s


Now, a=dvdt=k-βt2mdv=k-βt2m·dt


Integrating between given limits, we have 


v=-15vt=2 sdv=t=-2 st=2 sk-βt2mdt


=32t=-2t=28-2t2dt


vt=2 s--15=328t-2t33-22


vat t=2s=-15+32×82--2-238--23


vat t=2s=-15+3232-323


=-15+32643


=-15+32=17 ms-1
