Answer:

d. The momentum, but not the kinetic energy, of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles.

Explanation:

The center of mass is equal to:

x_{cm} =\frac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2} } (eq. 1)

The total mass is:

mtotal = m₁ + m₂

Replacing:

x_{cm} =\frac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}}{m_{total}  }\\x_{cm}*{m_{total} ={m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}} } (eq. 2)

Differentiate respect to time is:

\frac{d}{dt} x_{cm} m_{total} =\frac{d}{dt} m_{1} x_{1} +m_{2} x_{2}\\m_{total}v_{cm} =m_{1} v_{1}+m_{2} v_{2}

The momentum is:

P_{cm} =m_{total} v_{cm} =m_{1} v_{1}+m_{2} v_{2}

Differentiate the equation 1 respect to time is:

\frac{d}{dt} x_{cm} =\frac{d}{dt} \frac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}}{m_{total} }\\v_{cm} =\frac{1}{m_{total} } {m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}} }

The kinetic energy is:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m_{total} v_{cm} ^{2} =\frac{1}{2m_{total} } (m_{1}v_{1}  -m_{2}v_{2})^{2}

Observing equations 1 and 2, it can be seen that the kinetic energy of the center of mass is not equal to that of the particle system.

Answer:

The correct answer is a

Explanation:

The concept of center of mass strongly simplifies the analysis of problems, since all the external bridging forces = denote the point of the center ce plus.

                 xcm = 1 / M ∑xi mi

                 v cm = 1 / M ∑ xi vi

When we do this, the momentum and the kinetic energy are conserved, that is, it is equivalent to the movement of the particle system

The correct answer is a
