A force vec(F) = - k (y hat(i) + x hat(j)) , where k is a positive constant, acts on a particle moving in the xy - plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x - axis to a point (a, 0) and then parallel to the positive y - axis to a point (a, a). Calculate the total work done by the force on the particle.

A particle starts from rest and accelerates as shown in the graph. Determine (a) the particle's speed at t=10"and"t=20 and (b) the distance travelled in the first 20s
