Question

The linear momentum of a system relative to its center of mass is...

a) Zero

c) Not constant

b) Constant

d) Unity
​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Zero

Explanation:

The linear momentum of a system of particles is equal to the product of the total mass M of the system and the velocity of the center of mass.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The linear momentum of a system of particles is equal to the product of the total mass M of the system and the velocity of the center of mass.     = → = = Net external force acting on the system. - Conservation: ... The momentum is constant if no external forces act on a closed particle system.
