MHT CET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
In case of system of two-particles of different masses, the centre of mass lies
- A at the mid-point of line joining the two particles.
- B on the line joining the two particles.
- C at one end of the line joining the two particles.
- D on the line perpendicular to the line joining the two particles.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) on the line joining the two particles.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) on the line joining the two particles: This is the correct answer. The center of mass always lies on the line connecting the two particles, regardless of whether the masses are equal or not.
