The potential energy of a body of mass $m$ is given by $U = ax + by$,where $x$ and $y$ are the position coordinates of the particle. The acceleration of the particle is:

  • A
    $\frac{(a^2 + b^2)^{1/2}}{m}$
  • B
    $\frac{a^2 + b^2}{m}$
  • C
    $\frac{(a + b)^{1/2}}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{a + b}{m}$
