Question

The potential energy of a particle of mass 5 kg moving in the x - y plane is given by, U = - 7 x + 24 y J where x and y being in metre. If the particle starts from rest from the origin, then the speed of the particle at t = 2 s is :, 5 m s - 1, 14 m s - 1, 17 m s - 1, 10 m s - 1

∵ F → = - Δ U Δ x i ^ + Δ U Δ y j ^ = - - 7 i ^ + 24 j ^ ∴ F = 7 2 + 2 4 2 = 25 N ⇒ a = F / m = 25 / 5 = 5 m s - 2 ∵ v = u + a t = 0 + 5 × 2 = 10 m s - 1
