Homework Statement
A 2.75 kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 7t^2 - 4 and y = 5t^3 + 1, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.35 s.
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I took the 2nd derivative of each posn eqn and then substituted 2.35s for t to get accel; multiplied each accel by 2.75 kg to get Fx and Fy; then took the sqrt of (Fx^2 + Fy^2) to get magnitude.
I am not sure how to proceed. Thanks for any help!
