The center of mass of the two objects is the average position of the parts of the two object system
The center of mass of block <em>A</em>, and block <em>B</em> after displacement of block <em>B</em> is at <u>20 m from block </u><u><em>A</em></u>
<em />
Reason:
The given parameters are;
The position of block A and block B at t = 0 is x = 0
The mass of block A, m₁ = 8 kg
Mass of block B, m₂ = 16 kg
Speed of block <em>A</em> = 0 m/s
Speed of block <em>B</em>, v₂ = 10 m/s
Location of the center of mass of the two object at t = 3 s; Required
Solution;
The location of block <em>A</em>, after 3 s is x₁ = 0 (block A is at rest)
The location of block <em>B</em>, = v₂ × t
The location of block <em>B</em>, after 3 s is x₂ = 10 m/s × 3 s = 30 m
The center of mass of two masses are given as follows;
The center of mass of the two objects is at at the position x = <u>20 m</u> (from block <em>A</em>)
