A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in the xy-plane. The net force on the block is described by the potential- energy function U(x,y)= (5.90 J/m2 )x2-(3.90 J/m3 )y3.
a- What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block when it is at the point x= 0.29 m , y= 0.66 m ?
b- What is the direction of the acceleration of the block when it is at the point x= 0.29 m , y= 0.66 m ?
