Case study questions
34. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.
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 particles 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.

35. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.
Kinetic Energy
The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. In other works, the amount of
work done, a moving object can do before coming to rest is equal to its kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy KE = mv2 where, m is a mass and v is the velocity of a body.
