You could keep track of the sign,
-
the change in the variable is really negative,
-
and delta here stands for a positive number.
-
So, if you remember that, you'll write this -dM / M.
-
Now, the rest is simple mathematics. I don't want to do this,
-
but if you integrate this side and you integrate that side,
-
and you know dM / M is a logarithm;
-
you will find the result that the v at any time
-
is v final equals v initial plus--
-
or maybe I might as well do this integral here.
-
This integral will be v final minus v initial over v0,
-
will be the log of M initial over M final.
