In: Physics
a 2kg mass lying at rest at the origin is subjected to a force of 10 N directed along the positive X-axis and another force of 10 N along the positive y-axis. How far from the origin will the mass be in 5 seconds?
We apply Newton's second law to the x axis

but the net force in the x-axis is also equal to 
Thus the acceleration in the x-axis is
to know the distance the following equation is used.
where:
initial
position (at the origin)
Initial
speed of the rest.
acceleration in the x axis.
duration
of the applied force
evaluated numerically
due to on the y axis the magnitude of the applied force is equal, it will have the same aceleraccion, on the Y axis
if
the horizontal distance is equal to the vertical 

The distance from the origin is obtained using the theorem of Pythagoras
