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

A

A implies B and B implies A

B

A does not imply B and B does not imply A.

C

A implies B but B does not imply A

D

B implies A but A does not imply B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If CM is at rest, it definitetlyy means momentum of hte system is constant. But momentum of the system is constant, it does not mean center of mass is at rest.

Consider the following two statements: A. Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero. B. Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero.

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, if the external force acting on the system is zero, the linear momentum of the system will remain conserved. It means if the centre of mass of a system is initially at rest, it will remain, at rest in the absence of external force, that is, the displacement of centre of mass will be zero. Two blocks of masses 'm' and '2m' are placed as shown in Fig. There is no friction anywhere. A spring of force constant k is attached to the bigger block. Mass 'm' is kept in touch with the spring but not attached to it. 'A' and 'B' are two supports attached to '2m' . Now m is moved towards left so that spring is compressed by distance 'x' and then the system is released from rest. Find the relative velocity of the blocks after 'm' leaves contact with the spring.

It means if the centre of mass of a system is initially at rest, it will remain at rest in the absence of external force, that is, the displacement of centre of mass will be zero. A plank of mass M is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. light identical springs, each of stiffness K , are rigidly connected to struts at the end of the plank as shown in Fig. When the springs are in their unextended position, the distance between their free ends is 3l . A block of mass m is placed on the plank and pressed against one of the springs so that it is compressed to l . To keep the block at rest it is connected to the strut means of a light string. Initially, the system is at rest, Now the string is burnt. The maximum kinetic energy of the block m is
