The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the center of mass of the two-particle system just after the first particle is stopped and then released, we can use the formula for the velocity of the center of mass (V_cm): \[ V_{cm} = \frac{m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2}{m_1 + m_2} \] Where: - \(m_1\) is the mass of the first particle, - \(v_1\) is the velocity of the first particle, - \(m_2\) is the mass of the second particle, - \(v_2\) is the velocity of the second particle. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Mass of the first particle, \(m_1 = 2 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{kg}\) - Velocity of the first particle before stopping, \(v_1 = 10^3 \, \text{m/s}\) - Mass of the second particle, \(m_2 = 10^{-30} \, \text{kg}\) - Velocity of the second particle, \(v_2 = 2 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s}\) ### Step 2: Set the velocity of the first particle to zero Since the first particle is stopped for a moment, we set: - \(v_1 = 0 \, \text{m/s}\) ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the center of mass formula Now we can substitute the values into the center of mass formula: \[ V_{cm} = \frac{(2 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{kg} \cdot 0 \, \text{m/s}) + (10^{-30} \, \text{kg} \cdot 2 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s})}{(2 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{kg} + 10^{-30} \, \text{kg})} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Calculating the numerator: \[ = 0 + (10^{-30} \cdot 2 \times 10^3) = 2 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg m/s} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ = 2 \times 10^{-30} + 10^{-30} = 3 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{kg} \] Now substituting back into the equation: \[ V_{cm} = \frac{2 \times 10^{-27}}{3 \times 10^{-30}} \] ### Step 5: Final calculation \[ V_{cm} = \frac{2}{3} \times 10^{3} \, \text{m/s} = \frac{2}{3} \times 1000 \, \text{m/s} \approx 666.67 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The velocity of the center of mass of the system just after the release will be approximately \(666.67 \, \text{m/s}\). ---

Find the distance between centre of gravity and centre of mass of a two particle system attached to the ends of a light rod. Each particle has same mass. Length of the rod is R, where R is the radius of earth.

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

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

Assertion : Distance between two particles moving with consant velocities always remains constant. Reason : In the above case, relative motion between them is uniform.

Two particles having charge Q_(1) and Q_(2) , when kept at a certain distance exert a force F on each other . If the distance between the two particles is reduced to half and the charge on each particle is doubled , the force between the particles would be

Two particles are projected from two high rise buildings simultaneously as shown then find minimum distance between particles.

Two particles are placed at some distance. If the mass of each of the two particles is doubled, keeping the distance between them unchanged, the value of gravitational force between them will be
