The momentum of a system is defined

Statement I: In a two-body collision, the momenta of the particles are equal and opposite to one another, before as well as after the collision when measured in the centre of mass frame. Statement. II: The momentum of the system is zero from the centre of mass frame.

The rate of change of angular momentum of a system of particles about the centre of mass is equal to the sum of external torque about the centre of mass when the centre of mass is :

Consider the following two statements: A. linear momentum of the system remains constant. B. Centre of mass of the system remains at rest

Consider the following two statements: A. Kinear momentum of the system remains constant. B. Centre of mass of the system remains at rest

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius r round the Earth. Calculate its angular momentum with respect to the centre of the orbit in terms of the mass M of the Earth and G .

Centre of mass of three particles of masses 1 kg, 2 kg and 3 kg lies at the point (1,2,3) and centre of mass of another system of particles 3 kg and 2 kg lies at the point (-1, 3, -2) . Where should we put a particle of mass 5 kg so that the centre of mass of entire system lies at the centre of mass of first system ?

If the external forces acting on a system have zero resultant, the centre of mass

Assertion: To conserve linear momentum of a system, no force should act on the system. Reason: If net force on a system is zero, its linear momentum should remain constant.
