I don't know how to go about this problem. A 3 kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by \[x=5t^{2}-1\] and \[y=3t^{3}+2\], where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object as a function of time. Evaluate this expression at t=2s.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take derivative twice. This will give u acceleration. Force = mass * acceleration

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

i need an expression... that doesn't work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

follow the attachment... the acceleration is uniform as it doesn't include any time variable(after differentiation) so, net force acting on this object doesn't change as a function of time...
