A sphere of mass $m$ is set in motion with initial velocity $v_o$ on a surface on which $kx^n$ is the frictional force with $k$ and $n$ as the constants and $x$ as the distance from the point of start. Find the distance in which sphere will stop

$F=K x^{n}$

$-m \frac{v d v}{d x}=K x^{n}$

$-m \int_{v_{0}}^{0} v d v=K \int_{0}^{x} x^{n} d x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{m v_{0}^{2}}{2}=\frac{K x^{n+1}}{n+1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\left[\frac{m v_{0}^{2}(n+1)}{2 K}\right]^{\frac{1}{n+1}}$
