COMEDK · Physics · 7. Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
The centre of mass of a system of two bodies of masses \(M\) and \(m,(M>m)\), separated by a distance \(d\) is
- A midway between the bodies
- B closer to the heavier body
- C closer to the lighter body
- D at the centre of the heavier body
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) closer to the heavier body
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The given situation is shown below Let \(P\) be the location of centre of mass. If \(x_{1}\) and \(x_{2}\) be the distances of the centre of mass \(P\) from the two bodies of mass \(M\) and \(m(M>m)\) respectively, then…
