TS EAMCET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

A body of mass \(m_1=4 \mathrm{~kg}\) moves at \(5 \hat{\mathbf{i}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and another body of mass \(m_2=2 \mathrm{~kg}\) moves at \(10 \hat{\mathbf{i}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The kinetic energy of centre of mass is

  1. A \(\frac{200}{3} \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(\frac{500}{3} \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(\frac{400}{3} \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(\frac{800}{3} \mathrm{~J}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{400}{3} \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{\mathrm{CM}}=\frac{m_1 \frac{d r_1}{d t}+m_2 \frac{d r_2}{d t}}{m_1+m_2}\) \(=\frac{4 \times 5 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \times 10 \hat{\mathbf{i}}}{4+2}\) \(v_{\mathrm{CM}}=\frac{40 \hat{\mathbf{i}}}{6}=\frac{20}{3} \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) The kinetic energy \(K=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)…
