Question
In the figure below, two particles are launched from the origin of the coordinate system at time t = 0. Particle 1 of mass mi = 5.00 g is shot directly along an x axis (on a frictionless floor), where it moves with a constant speed of 13.0 m/s. Particle 2 of mass m2 = 4.00 g is shot with a velocity of magnitude 26.0 m/s, at an upward angle such that it always stays directly above particle 1 during its flight. What is the maximum height Hmax reached by the center of mass of the two-particle system? What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the center of mass when the center of mass reaches this height? What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the center of mass when the center of mass reaches this height?Explanation / Answer
a) 11.484 m_______b) 13 m/s and 0 degree counter clockwise from positive x direction_______c) 4.36 m/s^2 at 270 degree counter clockwise from positive x direction
