Is the center of mass system an inertial frame?
In another dream, you find yourself in the middle of outer space with your bestfriend and his evil twin. They look identical but you know the evil twin has a muchlower mass since he is only part human (and part machine.) Without harmingeither of them, how can you determine which one is the evil twin? ConsiderNewton’s Second Law and inertial mass.
We have a heavy fireworks petard explodes with high energy at the peak of its parabolic trajectory. What will the trajectory of its center of mass be after the explosion? Neglect air resistance
