Center of Mass of a system and its velocity – definition & equation
In this post, we will discuss the Center of Mass and its Momentum & velocity. Center of mass – for a single object & for collection of masses The center of mass (CM) is closely related to the concept of momentum. In most of the discussions and numerical problems, we assume that the various objects […]
