 CENTRE OF MASS

DEFINITION: The centre of mass of a body

of matter is an imaginary point at which
the entire mass of the body seems to act.

 CENTRE OF MASS AND CENTRE OF GRAVITY

❑ The centre of gravity of a body of matter is an imaginary point at which the entire weight
of the body seems to act.
❑ When a body is in an uniform gravitational field at centre of gravity is equal to its centre of
mass.
❑ The location of body centre of gravity may coincide with the geometrical centre of the
body especially in a symmetrically shaped body composed of homogeneous material.
❑ For hollow bodies or irregular shaped objects the centre of gravity may occur in space at a
point external to the physical material for example in the centre of a tennis ball

THEIR COORDINATES ARE GIVEN.
 CENTRE OF MASS AND STABILITY
The lower the centre of gravity of an object is, the stabler it is. Objects with higher centre of
gravity are easier to topple than object with lower centre of gravity
 TYPES OF SYSTEM OF PARTICLES
The term "system of particles" refers to a well-defined collection of many particles. We can also
say that a system of particles consists of several particles that may or may not interact with, or be
connected. They could be rigid body particles in translational motion. When particles interact,
they exert force on one another.
 MASS MOMENT

➢ The moment mass for a particle in a system is the product of its mass and its distance
from the centre of mass of the system.

➢ The point where the total mass of the system can be considered to be concentrated is
called the centre of mass.

➢ The sum of the moments of mass of all the particle in the system about the centre of mass
is always zero.

➢ The moment of mass measures the tendency of the mass to produce a rotation about the
centre of mass.

 CENTRE OF GRAVITY

The centre of gravity is that point on the body, where the whole weight of the body is
supposed to be concentrated.
Centre of gravity coincides with the centre of mass because the body being small, g
does not vary from one point of the body to the other point of the body.
If the body is so extended that g varies from one part to another part of the body, then
the centre of gravity and centre of mass will not coincide.

1. COLLISION
2. ELASTIC AND INELASTIC COLLISION.
3. ELASTIC COLLISON..
4. PERFECTLY INELASTIC COLLISION.
 COLLISION.

Collision is an isolated event in which a strong force acts between 2 or more bodies for a
short interval of time as a result of which the energy and momentum of the interacting
particle change.
 TYPES OF COLLISION.
1. If there is no loss of kinetic energy of the system during collision, it is called an elastic collision. In this type of collision
(i) the momentum of the system remains conserved.
(ii) the kinetic energy of the system before collision is equal to the kinetic energy after collision.
(iii) forces involved during collisions are called conservative in nature.

2. There is loss of kinetic energy during collision, it is called an inelastic collision. This type of collision:
(i) the momentum remains conserved.
(ii) The kinetic energy after collision will be less than the kinetic energy before collision.
(iii) Sum of all the forces involved during collision are non conservative.
(iv) A part of mechanical energy is converted into heat, light and sound.

If colliding bodies stick together and move as a single body after collision, then the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic
collision. In such collision, momentum of the system remains conserved, but the loss of kinetic energy is maximum. Example
a bullet fired into a wooden block and remains embedded in it.

Consider the collision depicted in figure to be between two billiard

balls with equal masses 𝑚1 = 𝑚2 . The first ball is called the cue and
the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to sink
the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle 𝜙 = 37∘ . Assuma
that the collision is elastic. Obtain the value of 𝜃.
