Total work of pseudo forces in center of...

Total work of pseudo forces in center of mass frame.
Show that total work done in center of mass frame on all the particles of a system by pseudo forces due to acceleration of mass center is zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let acceleration of mass centre relative to an inertial is `vec(a)_(c )`. Pseudo force on `I^th` particle of mass `m_i` in center of mass frame is `(-m_(i) vec(a)_(c ))`. Let displacement of Ith particle in a time interval is `Delta vec(r )_(i)` relative to the center of mass frame.
Total work of pseudo forces on all the particles in center of mass frame can now be expressed by the expression
`Sigma(-m_(i) vec(a)_(c )).Delta vec(r )_(i) = -vec(a)_(c).Sigma(m_iDelta vec(r )_(i))=-vec(a)_(c ).vec(0) = 0`

Work Done By Pseudo Force

The x and y coordinates of the center of mass of the three-particle system shown below are :

The position of center of mass of a system of particles does not depend upon the

The center of mass of a system of two particles divides the distance between them.

Pseudo force with respect to a frame moving with constant velocity is zero. Is this statement true or false?

Pseudo force is an imaginary force which is recognised only by a non-inertial observer to explain the physical situation according to newton’s laws. Magnitude of pseudo force Fp is equal to the product of the mass m of the object and the acceleration a of the frame of reference. The direction of the force is opposite to the direction of acceleration, F_(p)=-ma spring weighing machine inside a stationary lift reads 50 kg when a man stand on it. What would happen to the scale reading if the lift is moving upward with (i) constant velocity (ii) constant acceleratioin

Assertion: If there are no external forces, the center of mass of a double star moves like a free particle. Reason: If we go to the center of mass frame, then we find that the two stars are moving in a circle about the center of mass, which is at rest.

Assertion: We can apply tau=I alpha about the centre of mass of the system in non-inertial frame of reference. Reason: Torque of pseudo forces about centre of mass is zero
