Question

$text At one instant, the centre of mass of a system of two particles is located on the end text x text -axis at end text x equals 3.0 straight m text and has a velocity of end text left parenthesis 6.0 straight m divided by straight s right parenthesis bold j with not stretchy hat on top text . One of the particles is at the origin, the other particle has a end text text mass of end text 0.10 kg text and is at rest on the end text x text -axis at end text x equals 12.0 straight m text . What is the mass of the particle at the origin? end text$

0.1kg
0.2kg
0.5kg
$0.3 k g$

The correct answer is: $0.3 k g$

$text (a) end text x subscript c M end subscript equals fraction numerator m subscript 1 x subscript 1 plus m x subscript 2 over denominator m subscript 1 plus m subscript 2 end fraction not stretchy rightwards double arrow space of 1em 3 equals fraction numerator m subscript 1 left parenthesis 0 right parenthesis plus left parenthesis 0.10 right parenthesis left parenthesis 12 right parenthesis over denominator m subscript 1 plus 0.1 end fraction$
m=0.3kg

$text There are two masses end text m subscript 1 text and end text m subscript 2 text placed at a distance end text divided by text apart. Let the centre of mass of this end text text system is at a point named end text C text . If end text m subscript 1 text is displaced by end text l subscript 1 text towards end text C text and end text m subscript 2 text is displaced by end text I subscript 2 text away end text text from end text C text . Find the distance, from end text C text where new centre of mass will be located. end text$
