Solution

The correct option is C The kinetic energy of centre of mass at t=2.00 ms is 1.67×103 J
Let F1 be the force acting on m1, and F2 the force acting on m2. According to Newton's second law, their displacements are
d1=12a1t2=12(F1m1)t2,d2=12a2t2=12(F2m2)t2
The corresponding displacement of the centre of mass is
dcm=m1d1+m2d2m1+m2=12m1m1+m2(F1m1)t2+12m2m1+m2(F2m2)t2=12(F1+F2m1+m2)t2

(a) The two masses are m1=2.00×103 kg and m2=4.00×103 kg. With the forces given by F1=(4.00 N)^i+(5.00 N)^j and F2=(2.00 N)^i(4.00 N)^j, and t=2.00×103 s, we obtain
dcm=(F1+F2m1+m2)t2/2=12(4.00 N+2.00 N)^i+(5.00 N4.00 N)^j2.00×103 kg+4.00×103 kg(2.00×103 s)2=(6.67×104 m)^i+(3.33×104 m)^j
The magnitude of dcm is
dcm=(6.67×104 m)2+(3.33×104 m)2=7.45×104 m

or 0.745 mm.
(b) The angle of dcm is given by
θ=tan1(3.33×104 m6.67×104 m)=tan1(12)
measured counterclock wise from x-axis.
(c) The velocities of the two masses are
v1=a1t=F1tm1,v2=a2t=F2tm2
and the velocity of center of mass is

vcm=m1v1+m2v2m1+m2=m1m1+m2(F1tm1)+m2m1+m2(F2tm2)=(F1+F2m1+m2)t
The corresponding kinetic energy of the center of mass is
Kcm=12(m1+m2)v2cm=12|F1+F2|2m1+m2t2
With |F1+F2|=|(2.00 N)^i+(1.00N)^j|=5 N, we get
Kcm=12F1+F2|2m1+m2t2=12(5 N)22.00×103 kg+4.00×103 kg(2.00×103 s)2=1.67×103 J
