When a particle is a distance r from the origin, its potential energy function is given by the equation U(r)=kr, where k is a co
nstant and r=x2+y2+z2−−−−−−−−−−√
(a) What are the SI units of k?
Part B (b) Find a mathematical expression in terms of x, y, and z for the y component of the force on the particle.
Part C (c) If U=3.00 J when the particle is 2.00 m from the origin, find the numerical value of the y component of the force on this particle when it is at the point (-1.00 m, 2.00 m, 3.00 m).

Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity of the vehicle,
distance between the car and the tree,
time taken to respond to the situation,
acceleration of the car after braking,
Using equation of motion:
..............(1)
where:
final velocity of the car when it hits the tree
initial velocity of the car when the tree falls
acceleration after the brakes are applied
distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.
Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:
(negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)
