A force F→=(40i^+10j^)N\overrightarrow F = (40\widehat i + 10\widehat j)NF=(40i+10j​)N acts on a body of mass 5 kg. If the body starts from rest, its position vector r→\overrightarrow rr at time t = 10 s, will be :

Correct answer: C

  1. Given data

    F⃗=(40i^+10j^) N,m=5 kg\vec F = (40\hat i + 10\hat j)\,\text{N}, \qquad m=5\,\text{kg}F=(40i^+10j^​)N,m=5kg

    The body starts from rest, so

    u⃗=0\vec u = 0u=0

  2. Find acceleration using Newton’s second law

    a⃗=F⃗m\vec a = \frac{\vec F}{m}a=mF​

    a⃗=40i^+10j^5=(8i^+2j^) m/s2\vec a = \frac{40\hat i + 10\hat j}{5} = (8\hat i + 2\hat j)\,\text{m/s}^2a=540i^+10j^​​=(8i^+2j^​)m/s2

  3. Use position formula for motion from rest

    Since initial velocity is zero and initial position is taken as origin,

    r⃗=u⃗t+12a⃗t2\vec r = \vec u t + \frac{1}{2}\vec a t^2r=ut+21​at2

    With u⃗=0\vec u=0u=0,

    r⃗=12(8i^+2j^)(10)2\vec r = \frac{1}{2}(8\hat i + 2\hat j)(10)^2r=21​(8i^+2j^​)(10)2

  4. Calculate components

    r⃗=12(8i^+2j^)(100)\vec r = \frac{1}{2}(8\hat i + 2\hat j)(100)r=21​(8i^+2j^​)(100)

    r⃗=50(8i^+2j^)\vec r = 50(8\hat i + 2\hat j)r=50(8i^+2j^​)

    r⃗=(400i^+100j^) m\vec r = (400\hat i + 100\hat j)\,\text{m}r=(400i^+100j^​)m

  5. Match with options

    This corresponds to:

    Option C: (400i^+100j^) m(400\hat i + 100\hat j)\,\text{m}(400i^+100j^​)m

  6. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer: C

    Our derived answer: C

    So they agree.
