A toy car push back mechanism is pushed backwards with a great force through a distance and then released suddenly. It is observed that the car does not move in a st. line, but it starts to rotate about its axis? What is the centre of the axis of the axis of the car imn this case? Is the C.G. or C.M. of the car?

Solution

In this case axis about which car will rotate is the axis passing through the centre of mass of the car
This is because when car is released then, torque will act on the car then it will rotate about the axis passing through C.O.M.
