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

    A)  5 m/s      

    B)  14 m/s

    C)  175 m/s     

    D)  10 m/s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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