Question: 7 ) ( 2 5 points ) A 4 kg particle has a velocity of v 1 = ( 4 i 2 0 t j

7)(25 points) A 4 kg particle has a velocity of v1=(4i20tj) m/s, where t is the time
at some instant. A 3 kg particle has a constant velocity of v2=4i m/s. The initial
position of the 2 kg particle is r1=(1i +2j) m. The initial position of the 3 kg
particle is r2=(3i2j) m.
a)(6 pts) What is the initial x-component of the center of mass of this two-particle
system?
b)(6 pts) What is the initial y-component of the center of mass of this two-particle
system?
c)(7 pts) At t =6 s, what is the velocity of the center of mass, vcm? Dont forget
to include both components.
d)(6 pts) What is the total momentum of the system Pcm of the system at t =5 s?
