(a)
The distance of CM from the women.
(a)
Answer to Problem 58P
The distance of CM from the women is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the women is
The mass of the man is
The distance between the man and women is
Formula used:
The expression for the distance of CM from the women is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider man is at origin. Hence,
The distance of women from the origin is
The distance of CM from the women is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the distance of CM from the women is
(b)
The distance of man from the women.
(b)
Answer to Problem 58P
The distance of man from the women is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the women is
The mass of the man is
The distance between the man and women is
Formula used:
The expression for the distance of CM from the women is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the man moves 2.5 m from the origin. Hence,
From part (a), the distance of CM from the women is
The distance of women from the origin is,
The distance of man from the women is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the distance of man from the women is
(c)
The distance at which the man and women collides each other.
(c)
Answer to Problem 58P
The distance at which the man and women collides each other is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the women is
The mass of the man is
The distance between the man and women is
Formula used:
The expression for the distance of CM from the women is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the man is a origin. Hence,
The distance of women from the origin is
From part (a), the distance of CM from the women is
The man and women will collide each other at the centre of mass.
Hence, the distance at which the man and women collides each other is
Conclusion:
Thus, the distance at which the man and women collides each other is
