Question

Is acceleration of the centre of the mass of the body equal to the acceleration of the whole body?

Answer 1

Answer:

Key Points. The total mass times the acceleration of the center of mass equals the sum of external forces. For the translational motion of a rigid body with mass M, Newton's 2nd law applies as if we are describing the motion of a point particle (with mass M) under the influence of the external force.
