Physics · Centre of mass of a two-particle system, centre of mass of a rigid body
How far from the midpoint of the stick is the center of mass of the stick-puck c
How far from the midpoint of the stick is the center of mass of the stick-puck combination after the collision?
- A. \( l \) \( \overline{2} \)
- B. \( \frac{l}{3} \)
- C. \( \frac{l}{4} \)
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
Assuming the stick is uniform and the puck of equal mass sticks to one end, the center of mass is located at a distance l/4 from the midpoint toward the end where the puck attaches.
