Three masses, 1.0 kg, 2.0 kg, and 3.0 kg, are located at (0, 0), (1.0 m, 1.0 m), and (2.0 m, -2.0 m),respectively. What is the location of the center of mass of the system?
One astronaut is 75kg, and another who is 3.4 m away in the x-direction is 85kg. How far from the first astronaut is their mutual center of mass?
Do not actually solve the problem numerically or algebraically, just pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown.
Two masses mA=62kg and mB=32kg collides with each other. The velocities of mA before and after the collision are vA=(7 i+62 j) m/s and v'A=(25 i+89 j) m/s. If the velocity of the center of mass before the collision is vCM=(2 i+17 j) m/s, what is the velocity of mB after the collision?
