Physics

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in thexy-plane. The net force on the block is described by thepotential- energy function U(x,y)= (5.90 J/m2 )x2-(3.50 J/m3)y3.

A)

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block when itis at the point x= 0.39 m , y= 0.68 m ?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
