JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: For a mechanical system of many particles total kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of all the particles.
Statement II: The total kinetic energy can be the sum of kinetic energy of the center of mass w.r.t. to the origin and the kinetic energy of all the particles w.r.t. the center of mass as the reference.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. D Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( KE=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2} \) \( KE=\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{cm}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}|\vec{v}_{1}-\vec{v}_{2}|^{2} \) So Ans. is (1)
