The potential energy (in SI units) of a particle of mass `2kg` in a conservative field is `U=6x-8y`. If the initial velocity of the particle is `vecu=-1.5hati+2hatj`, then find the total distance travelled by the particle in the first two seconds.A. `10m`B. `12m`C. `15m`D. `18m`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`vec(v)=-(delU)/(delx)hat(i)-(delU)/(dely)hat(j)=-[6hat(i)]+[8]hat(j)`
`=-6hat(i)+8hat(j)`
`:. vec(a)=-3hat(i)+4hat(j)` has same direction as that of `vec(u)=(-3hat(i)+4hat(j))/(2)=((vec(a))/(2))`
`|vec(a)|=5`
`|vec(u)|=5//2`
Since `vec(u)` and `vec(a)` are in same direction, particl will move along a straight line
`:. S=(5)/(2)xx2+(1)/(2)xx5xx2^(2)`
`=5+10=15m. 15m. Ans`
