Question: Consider a system consisting of three particles: m 1 = 5 kg , 1 = < 1 0 , - 4 , 1 4 >

Consider a system consisting of three particles:
m1=5 kg,1=<10,-4,14> m/s
m2=8 kg,2=<-12,8,-4> m/s
m3=3 kg,3=<-23,38,22> m/s
(a) What is the total momentum of this system?
tot =
kg m/s
(b) What is the velocity of the center of mass of this system?
cm =
m/s
(c) What is the total kinetic energy of this system?
Ktot = J
(d) What is the translational kinetic energy of this system?
Ktrans = J
(e) What is the kinetic energy of this system relative to the center of mass?
Krel = J
