Correct answer: B

  1. Given position vector

    r⃗(t)=10t i^+15t2 j^+7 k^\vec r(t)=10t\,\hat i+15t^2\,\hat j+7\,\hat kr(t)=10ti^+15t2j^​+7k^

  2. Find velocity by differentiating position with respect to time:

    v⃗=dr⃗dt=10 i^+30t j^+0 k^\vec v=\frac{d\vec r}{dt}=10\,\hat i+30t\,\hat j+0\,\hat kv=dtdr​=10i^+30tj^​+0k^

  3. Find acceleration by differentiating velocity with respect to time:

    a⃗=dv⃗dt=0 i^+30 j^+0 k^\vec a=\frac{d\vec v}{dt}=0\,\hat i+30\,\hat j+0\,\hat ka=dtdv​=0i^+30j^​+0k^

  4. Relate force and acceleration using Newton's second law:

    F⃗=ma⃗\vec F=m\vec aF=ma

    Since mass mmm is positive, the direction of force is the same as the direction of acceleration.

  5. Direction of acceleration:

    a⃗=30 j^\vec a=30\,\hat ja=30j^​

    This is along the positive yyy-axis.

  6. Check options:

    • A: Positive xxx-axis →\rightarrow→ Incorrect
    • B: Positive yyy-axis →\rightarrow→ Correct
    • C: Positive zzz-axis →\rightarrow→ Incorrect
    • D: In xxx-yyy plane →\rightarrow→ Not the most specific correct direction, since force is purely along +y+y+y

Therefore, the net force is along the positive yyy-axis.
