  • Particle Motion: Calculate Position After 3 Seconds Given Force and Mass
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Calculate the acceleration:

    * Force (F) = mass (m) * acceleration (a)

    * a = F/m

    * Substitute the given values: a = (4i + 8j + 10k) N / 3 kg

    * a = (4/3)i + (8/3)j + (10/3)k m/s²

    2. Calculate the velocity:

    * Velocity (v) = initial velocity (u) + acceleration (a) * time (t)

    * Since the particle starts from rest, u = 0

    * Substitute the values: v = 0 + [(4/3)i + (8/3)j + (10/3)k m/s²] * 3 s

    * v = 4i + 8j + 10k m/s

    3. Calculate the displacement:

    * Displacement (s) = initial position (s₀) + initial velocity (u) * time (t) + (1/2) * acceleration (a) * time² (t²)

    * Since the particle starts at the origin, s₀ = 0

    * Substitute the values: s = 0 + 0 * 3 s + (1/2) * [(4/3)i + (8/3)j + (10/3)k m/s²] * (3 s)²

    * s = 6i + 12j + 15k m

    Therefore, the new coordinates of the particle after 3 seconds will be (6, 12, 15).
