Document Summary

Phys 101: physics for the life sciences lecture 17: So the centre of mass along the x-axis is located : 2-d rcm=xcm + ycm n i=1 n j=1. Consider three particles as shown where m1=1 kg, m2=1 kg, m3=2 kg. =1. 0m rcm=xcm + ycm rcm=(0. 75 m) +(1. 0) . Force: is defined as the time rate change of momentum. Is equal to the time derivative of p=mv. =0 and there the momentum(p) is constant, and under such conditions the momentum is conserved. Consider two particles isolated from all external forces. When the particles collide they feel a force due to the collision. During the collision the system experiences a net external force therefore its momentum changes. Exact same argument for the system of particle 2. Before/after/during the collision the net force is zero: So, for the system of two particles the momentum is conserved. Pi=pf (where i=right before collision and f=right after the collision)
