  • both, translational and rotational motion
  • does not include translational and rotational motions
A rigid body is one
  • the sum of distances of all particles from the axis remains constant
  • in which the distance between all pairs of particles remains fixed.
  • whose centre of mass follows a parabolic path
  • that deforms and comes back to its original shape after getting deformed

There are some passengers inside a stationary railway compartment. The centre of masses of the compartment itself(without the passengers) is C1, while the centre of mass of the compartment plus passengers' system is Cif the passengers moves about inside the compartment
  • both C1 and C2 will move with respect to the ground
  • neither C1 nor C2 will move with respect to the ground
  • C1 will move but C2 will be stationary with respect to the ground.
  • C2 will move but C1 will be stationary with respect to the ground.

An isolated particle of mass m is moving in a horizontal plane (x,y) along the x axis at a certain height above the ground. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses m/4 and 3m/An instant later, the smaller fragments is at y = +15 cm. The larger fragment at this instant is at

  • At the point of intersection of the medians.
  • At the line joining the centers of any two balls.
  • At the centre of one of the ball.
  • At the horizontal surface.

  • either remains stationary or moves with uniform velocity
  • none of these
Two blocks of the masses 10 kg and 4 kg are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a velocity of 14 m/s to the heavier block. The velocity of centre of mass is
