The position of an object of
mass 5 kg as a function of
time is giving by r = (20m/s4)t4
i + (12 m/s3)t3 j. Find the
force acting on the object as a
function of time. Express the
force in unit vectors. Hint:
Remember that Newton's
second Law relates the force
to the acceleration

Answer:

[tex]F=5(240t^2i+72tj)\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the object, m = 5 kg

The position vector is, [tex]r=20t^4i+12t^3j[/tex]

Velocity, [tex]v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}=80t^3i+36t^2j[/tex]

Acceleration, [tex]a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}=240t^2i+72tj[/tex]

Newton's second law of motion is given as follows:

F = ma

Put all the values,

[tex]F=5(240t^2i+72tj)\ N[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
