Question
A body of mass m1 = 4 kg moves at 5 i m/s and another body of mass m2 = 2 kg moves at 10 i m/s. The kinetic energy of centre of mass is
Solution
C.
The total kinetic energy of a multiparticle system is equal to the sum of particles in the systems.
The centre of mass is a point that represents the average location for the total mass of system.
=
