The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1.7m s-2. What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of moon if its time period on the surface of earth is 3.5 s? (g on the surface of earth is 9.8m s-2)
Separation of Motion of a system of particles into motion of the centre of mass and motion about the centre of mass:
Show $\text{p}=\text{p}'_\text{i}+\text{m}_\text{i}\text{V}$ where pi is the momentum of the ith particle (of mass mi ) and p′i = miv′i.
Note: v′i is the velocity of the ith particle relative to the centre of mass. Also, prove using the definition of the centre of mass.
