WBJEE · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
A large number of particles are placed around the origin, each at a distance \(R\) from the origin. The distance of the centro of mass of the system from the origin is
- A equal to \(R\)
- B less than equal to \(R\)
- C greater than \(R\)
- D greater than equal to \(R\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) less than equal to \(R\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As large number of particles is situated at a distance \(R\) from the ongin If particles are uniformly distubuted and make a circulat boundary atound the ongm, then centre of mass will be at the ongin While if the patticles are not uniformly distnbuted, then centre of mass will…
