Does centre of mass of a body actually exist in reality? Does centre of mass of a solid body lie necessarily Inside it ?

Statement-1: The centre of mass of body may lie where there is no mass. Statement-2: Centre of mass of a body is a point, where the whole mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated.

All the particles of a body are situated at a distance R from the origin. The distance of the centre of mass of the body from the origin is

The mass of a body cannot be considered to be concentrated at the centre of mass of the body for the purpose of computing its moment of inertia. For then the moment of inertia of every body about an axis passing through its centre of mass would be zero.

All the particles of body are situated at a distance R from the origin. The distance of the centre of mass of the body from the origin is also R. Is this statement true or false?

Let I_(A) and I_(B) be moments of inertia of a body about two axes A and B respectively. The axis A passes through the centre of mass of the body but B does not

For any given body, the centre of the mass of a body always coincides with its centre of gravity.

A body of mass 50 g is revolving about an axis in a circular path. The distance of the centre of mass of the body from the axis of rotation is 50 cm. Find the moment of inertia of the body.

In the given figure F=10N, R=1m , mass of the body is 2kg and moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through O and perpendicular to the plane of the body is 4kgm^(2) . O is the centre of mass of the body. If the ground is smooth, what is the total kinetic energy of the body after 2s ?
