  • A
    $3/\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • D

The potential energy of a particle of mass $5 \ kg$ moving in the $XY$ plane is given by $V = -7x + 24y$ joules,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. Initially at $t = 0$,the particle is at the origin $(0, 0)$ moving with a velocity of $\vec{v}_0 = 6[0.24 \hat{i} + 0.7 \hat{j}] \ m/s = [1.44 \hat{i} + 4.2 \hat{j}] \ m/s$. Then:
