WBJEE · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
Two bodies of masses \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\) are separated by a distance \(R\). The distance of the centre of mass of the bodies from the mass \(m_{1}\) is
- A \(\frac{m_{2} R}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\)
- B \(\frac{m_{1} R}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\)
- C \(\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} R\)
- D \(\frac{m_{1}+m_{2}}{m_{1}} R\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{m_{2} R}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The bodies are separated by a distance \(R\). so the coordinates of \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\) will be (0,0) and \((R, 0)\) From the formula of centre of mass,…
