SECTION E
34 Case Study : 4
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions. (1+1+2)
The impact and deformation during collision may generate heat and sound. Part of the initial
kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy. A useful way to visualize the
deformation during collision is in terms of a ‘compressed spring’. If the ‘spring’ connecting the
 two masses regains its original shape without loss in energy, then the initial kinetic energy is
equal to the final kinetic energy but the kinetic energy during the collision time Δt is not constant.
Such a collision is called an elastic collision. On the other hand the deformation may not be
relieved and the two bodies could move together after the collision. A collision in which the two
particles move together after the collision is called a completely inelastic collision. The
intermediate case where the deformation is partly relieved and some of the initial kinetic energy
is lost is more common and is appropriately called an inelastic collision. If the initial velocities
and final velocities of both the bodies are along the same straight line, then it is called a one-
dimensional collision, or head-on collision.

figure is a possible result after collision?

35 Case Study : 4
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions. (1+1+2)
Centre of Mass
The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which moves as though all of the
mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied to it. Hence, a point at which
the entire mass of the body or system of bodies is supposed to be concentrated is known as the
centre of mass.
If a system consists of more than one particle (or bodies) and net external force on the system
in a particular direction is zero with centre of mass at rest. Then, the centre of mass will not
move along that direction. Even though some particles of the system may move along that
direction.

respectively. What are the coordinates of the centre of mass?
b) On what factors, does the position of centre of mass of a rigid body depends?
c) Three masses 3Kg, 4Kg and 5Kg are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle
of side 1m. Locate the centre of mass of the system.

of CM of the compartment change? (ii) Will the position of CM of system
