Can someone help me with the question?

A 5.82-kg object passes through the origin at time t = 0 such that its x component of velocity is 5.20 m/s and its y component of velocity is −3.12 m/s.


(a) What is the kinetic energy of the object at this time?

 ______ J


(b) At a later time t = 2.00 s, the particle is located at x = 8.50 m and y = 5.00 m. What constant force acted on the object during this time interval?


magnitude     ____ N
direction ____ ° measured from the +x axis


(c) What is the speed of the particle at t = 2.00 s?


 _____m/s

my checker says b is incorrect? and im not sure what the direction measured from the +x axis is?

Direction is Arctan y/x = Arctan 32.6 / - 5.53 = 180 - 80.37 = 99.6 deg Magnitude is Sqrt ( 5.53^2 + 32.6^2 ) = 33.1 Possible I made an Arithmetic error. But it is the procedure/method of solution that is important.
