    Consider the following statements                        \[{{S}_{1}}\]: Non zero work has to be done on a moving particle to change its momentum.                             \[{{S}_{2}}\]: To change momentum of a particle a non zero net force should act on it.                                     \[{{S}_{3}}\]: Two particles undergo rectilinear motion along different straight lines. Then the centre of mass of system of given two particles also always moves along a straight line.                                         \[{{S}_{4}}\]: If direction of net momentum of a system of particles (having nonzero net momentum) is fixed, the centre of mass of given system moves along a straight line. State in order, whether \[{{S}_{1}}\text{, }{{S}_{2}},\text{ }{{S}_{3}},\text{ }{{S}_{4}}\]are true or false.

    A)  TTFT                     

    B)  FTFT

    C)  FTTT                     

    D)  FFTF

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{\text{S}}_{\text{1}}}\]: No work is done by net force, it only changes direction of momentum of particle. Hence \[{{\text{S}}_{\text{1}}}\] is false.            \[{{\text{S}}_{2}}\]: True by definition. \[{{\text{S}}_{3}}\]: Nothing is said about acceleration of both particles. Hence angle between velocity and -acceleration of centre of mass may not be zero. Consequently centre of mass may not move along a straight line. Hence \[{{\text{S}}_{3}}\]is false. \[{{\text{S}}_{4}}\]: \[{{\vec{V}}_{cm}}=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{{\vec{v}}}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{{\vec{v}}}_{2}}+.....+{{m}_{n}}{{{\vec{v}}}_{n}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}+.....+{{m}_{n}}}\] \[=\frac{{{{\vec{F}}}_{net}}}{({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}+.....+{{m}_{n}})}\] Direction at \[{{\vec{P}}_{net}}\]is fixed so \[{{\vec{V}}_{cm}}\]is also constant in the direction. So path of CM will be straight line.
