Question
(2) Two forces \( F_1 = (36.0 \, \text{N})\mathbf{i} - (16.0 \, \text{N})\mathbf{j} \) and \( F_2(x, y) = (ax)\mathbf{i} + (by)\mathbf{j} \) displace a 12.0 kg object from the point \( (10.0 \, \text{m}, 10.0 \, \text{m}) \) to the point \( (30.0 \, \text{m}, 40.0 \, \text{m}) \). The numerical values of \( a \) and \( b \) are 6.0 and 8.0 respectively when the units of \( F_2(x, y) \) are Newtons.

(a) What are the units of \( a \) and \( b \)?

(b) Calculate the work done on the object by the net force (\( F_{\text{net}} = F_1 + F_2 \)) acting on it. (answer: 8640 J)

(c) If the object started from rest at \( (10.0 \, \text{m}, 10.0 \, \text{m}) \), what was its speed when it reached \( (30.0 \, \text{m}, 40.0 \, \text{m}) \)? (answer: 37.9 m/s)
