    The potential energy of a particle of mass 5 kg moving in the x-y plane is given by \[\text{U}=\left( -\text{7x}+\text{24y} \right)\text{ J},\text{ x}\]and y being in metre. If the particle starts from rest from origin, then speed of particle at t = 2 s is

    A)  5 m/s                                   

    B)  14 m/s

    C)  17.5 m/s                             

    D)  10 m/s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[F=\frac{-\partial U\,\hat{i}}{\partial x}\frac{-\partial U\,\hat{j}}{\partial y}\] \[=7\,\hat{i}-24\,\hat{j}\] \[\therefore \,{{a}_{x}}=\frac{{{F}_{x}}}{m}\] \[=\frac{7}{15}=1.4\,m/{{s}^{2}}\], along positive x-axis \[{{a}_{y}}=\frac{{{F}_{y}}}{m}=-\frac{24}{5}\] \[=4.8\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] along negative y-axis \[\therefore \]  \[{{v}_{x}}={{a}_{x}}t=1.4\times 2=2.8\,m/s\] and        \[{{v}_{y}}=4.8\times 2=9.6\,m/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=10\,m/s\]
