Three force →F1=(2^i+4^j) N:→F2=(2^i−4^j) N and →F3=(^k−4^i−2^j) N are applied on an object of mass 1 kg at rest at origin. The position of the object at t=2s will be
The correct option is B (−4 m,2 m)
Step 1, The given data
Mass of the object (m) = 1 kg
Initially, it was at rest so u=0
Step 2, Finding the acceleration
We know,
→F=m→a
So acceleration will be →a=→Fm=0^i−2^j+^k1kgN=(0^i−2^j+^k)m/s2
Position of the body in x-direction after 2 seconds
We know,
S=ut+12at2
The initial velocity is zero
So, x=12axt2=12ax(4)=12×0×4=0m
Position of the body in y-direction after 2 seconds
We know,
S=ut+12at2
Initial velocity is zero
So, y=12ayt2=12ay(4)=12×−2×4=−4m
Position of the body in z-direction after 2 seconds
We know,
S=ut+12at2
Initial velocity is zero
So, z=12azt2=12az(4)=12×1×4=2m
Hence the position of the body after 2 seconds will be (0m,−4m,2m)
Hence the correct option is (B)
