Question:
A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in the xy-plane. The net force on the block is described by the potential energy function U(x, y) = (5.80 J/m2)x2 - (3.60 J/m3)y3. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the block when it is at the point (x = 0.300 m, y = 0.600 m)?
Step by Step Answer:

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
