A particle starts from origin at t=0 with a velocity 5i^ m s-1 and moves in x-y plane under action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of (3i^+2j^) m s-2. If the x-coordinate of the particle at that instant is 84 m, then the speed of the particle at this time is α m s-1. The value of α is _______.

Solution

Given, ux=5 m s-1, ax=3 m s-2, x=84 m

The formula to calculate the velocity of the particle along x-axis is given by

vx2=ux2+2ax   ...1

From equation (1), it follows that

vx2=25+2(3)(84)vx=23 m s-1

Also, the velocity of the particle along x-axis can be written as

vx=ux+axt   ...2

From equation (2), it follows that

t=23-53=6 s

Similarly, for the y- component of the velocity, it follows that

vy=0+ayt=0+2×(6)=12 m s-1

Hence, the magnitude of the velocity is given by

v2=vx2+vy2=232+122=673v=673 m s-1

Therefore, α=673.
