$A$ ball of mass $2 \ kg$ is moving in $xy$-plane with a potential energy given as $U=(12x + 16y) \ J$,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. Assume the initial position of the ball at $t=0$ is at the origin $(0,0)$ and it is moving with a velocity of $(15 \hat{i} + 20 \hat{j}) \ m/s$. Identify the correct statement.

  • A
    The path of the ball is parabolic.
  • B
    The direction of motion of the ball initially at $t=0$ is parallel to the direction of acceleration.
  • C
    The speed of the ball at $t=2 \ s$ is $5 \ m/s$.
  • D
    The magnitude of acceleration of the ball is $8 \ m/s^2$.
