Solution
The correct option is C The kinetic energy of centre of mass at t=2.00ms is 1.67×10−3J 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=12→a1t2=12(→F1m1)t2,→d2=12→a2t2=12(→F2m2)t2
The corresponding displacement of the centre of mass is →dcm=m1→d1+m2→d2m1+m2=12m1m1+m2(→F1m1)t2+12m2m1+m2(→F2m2)t2=12(→F1+→F2m1+m2)t2
(a) The two masses are m1=2.00×10−3 kg and m2=4.00×10−3 kg. With the forces given by →F1=(−4.00N)^i+(5.00N)^j and →F2=(2.00N)^i−(4.00N)^j, and t=2.00×10−3 s, we obtain →dcm=(→F1+→F2m1+m2)t2/2=12(−4.00N+2.00N)^i+(5.00N−4.00N)^j2.00×10−3kg+4.00×10−3kg(2.00×10−3s)2=(−6.67×10−4m)^i+(3.33×10−4m)^j
The magnitude of →dcm is dcm=√(−6.67×10−4m)2+(3.33×10−4m)2=7.45×10−4m
or 0.745mm.
(b) The angle of →dcm is given by θ=tan−1(3.33×10−4m−6.67×10−4m)=tan−1(−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=m1→v1+m2→v2m1+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|=|(−2.00N)^i+(1.00N)^j|=√5N, we get Kcm=12→F1+→F2|2m1+m2t2=12(√5N)22.00×10−3kg+4.00×10−3kg(2.00×10−3s)2=1.67×10−3J
