$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in the $xy$-plane such that its velocity at a point $(x, y)$ is given as $\vec{v} = \alpha(y \hat{i} + 2x \hat{j})$,where $\alpha$ is a non-zero constant. What is the force $\vec{F}$ acting on the particle?

  • A
    $\vec{F} = 2m\alpha^2(x \hat{i} + y \hat{j})$
  • B
    $\vec{F} = m\alpha^2(y \hat{i} + 2x \hat{j})$
  • C
    $\vec{F} = 2m\alpha^2(y \hat{i} + x \hat{j})$
  • D
    $\vec{F} = m\alpha^2(x \hat{i} + 2y \hat{j})$
