  • question_answer
    A body of mass \[{{m}_{1}}=4\,kg\] moves at \[5\,\hat{i}\,m\text{/}s\] and another body of mass \[{{m}_{2}}=2\,kg\] moves at\[10\,\hat{i}\,m\text{/}s\]. The kinetic energy of centre of mass is

    A) \[\frac{200}{3}J\]

    B) \[\frac{500}{3}J\]

    C) \[\frac{400}{3}J\]

    D) \[\frac{800}{3}J\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[{{v}_{CM}}=\frac{{{m}_{1}}\frac{d{{r}_{1}}}{dt}+{{m}_{2}}\frac{d{{r}_{2}}}{dt}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]         \[=\frac{4\times 5\,\hat{i}+2\times 10\,\hat{i}}{4+2}\] \[{{v}_{CM}}=\frac{40\,\hat{i}}{6}=\frac{20\,\hat{i}}{3}\] The kinetic energy \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]     \[=\frac{1}{2}\times (4+2)\times \frac{20\times 20}{3\times 3}\]     \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{6\times 20\times 20}{3\times 3}\] \[K=\frac{400}{3}J\]
