d. KE=Iω

6. The combination of rotational motion and the translational motion of a rigid body is known as

7.. Assertion : The center of mass of a body may lie where there is no mass.
Reason : Centre of mass of body is a point, where the whole mass of the body is supposed to be
concentrated.

8. Assertion: Centre of mass of a ring lies at its geometric centre though there is no mass.
Reason: Centre of mass is independent of mass.

9. Assertion : The centre of mass of an isolated system has a constant velocity.


Reason : If centre of mass of an isolated system is already at rest, it remains at rest.

10. Assertion : The center of mass of a two particle system lies on the line joining the two particle, being
closer to the heavier particle.
Reason : Product of mass of particle and its distance from center of mass is numerically equal to product
of mass of other particle and its distance from center of mass.

11. CASE STUDY: The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which moves as though
all of the mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied to it. Hence, a point at which
the entire mass of the body or system of bodies is supposed to be concentrated is known as the centre of
mass.
If a system consists of more than one particle (or bodies) and net external force on the system in a
particular direction is zero with centre of mass at rest. Then, the centre of mass will not move along that
direction. Even though some particles of the system may move along that direction.

(i) Two bodies of masses 1 kg and 2 kg are lying in xy-plane at (-1, 2) and (2, 4), respectively. What
are the coordinates of the centre of mass?
(a) 1, 10/3
(b) (1,0)
(c) (0,1)
(d) None of these

(ii) Two balls of same masses start moving towards each other due to gravitational attraction, if
the initial distance between them is L. Then, they meet at
(a) L/2
(b) L
(c) L/3
(d) L/4

(iii) The centre of mass of a system of two particles divides, the distance between them
(a) in inverse ratio of square of masses of particles
(b) in direct ratio of square of masses of particles
(c) in inverse ratio of masses of particles
(d) in direct ratio of masses of particles

(iv) Two particles A and B initially at rest move towards each other under a mutual force of
attraction. At the instant, when the speed of A is v and the speed of B is 2v, the speed of centre of
mass of the system is
(a) zero
(b) v
(c) 1.5 v
(d) 3v

(v) All the particles of a body are situated at a distance R from the origin. The distance of centre of
mass of the body from the origin is
(a) = R
(b) ≤ R
(c) > R
(d) ≥ R
