Alright all I've been attempting this question and I've become stuck.
This is the question.
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2575/63353658.jpg [Broken]
In the working out.
So for the first part i wrote F=Mx^.. (X double dot).
I also stated that if there was no force acting on the particle then the particle would stay at a constant speed V if we ignored instances such as the particle being on a slope.
For the second part i wrote (Im using X to denote x hat (x^^), same applied with y.)
F_x X + F_y Y = m x^.. X + m y^.. Y
=> x^.. = 2 , y^.. = 3x^2
Now for the third part when writing down the inital conditions this is where i become confused. Shall i write it in plain english such as;
At time equal to 0, this displacement of the particle x^.. will be 0.
Im not too sure how to answer that part, or the last part.
Any help is greatly appricated cheers people :)
