$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in the $xy$-plane such that its velocity at a point $(x, y)$ is given as $\vec{v} = \alpha(y \hat{i} + 2x \hat{j})$,where $\alpha$ is a non-zero constant. What is the force $\vec{F}$ acting on the particle?

  • A
    $\vec{F} = 2m\alpha^2(x \hat{i} + y \hat{j})$
  • B
    $\vec{F} = m\alpha^2(y \hat{i} + 2x \hat{j})$
  • C
    $\vec{F} = 2m\alpha^2(y \hat{i} + x \hat{j})$
  • D
    $\vec{F} = m\alpha^2(x \hat{i} + 2y \hat{j})$

$A$ particle is moving in a circular path. The acceleration and momentum vectors at an instant of time are $\vec{a} = 2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} \ m/s^2$ and $\vec{p} = 6 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} \ kg \cdot m/s$. Then the motion of the particle is

$A$ man wants to reach from $A$ to the opposite corner of the square $C$. The sides of the square are $100\, m$. $A$ central square of $50\, m \times 50\, m$ is filled with sand. Outside this square,he can walk at a speed of $1\, m/s$. In the central square,he can walk only at a speed of $v\, m/s$ $(v < 1)$. What is the smallest value of $v$ for which he can reach faster via a straight path through the sand than any path in the square outside the sand?
