Chapter 7 Systems of particles 7-1 The motion of a complex object 7-2 Two-particle system 7-3 Many-particle system 7-4 Center of mass of solid objects 7-5 Conservation of momentum in a system of particles When can the object studied be regarded as a mass point? Doing only translational motion Translational motion Rotational motion Translational + Rotational motion 7-1 The motion of a complex object When we projectile a rigid body, the motion of the body looks very complicated. We can consider the motion of the rigid body to be a combination of a parabolic trajectory of a “center of mass” (rotational motion is not considered) plus a rotation about “center of mass” (translational motion is not considered). How to find the center of mass (CM) of a particle system? 7-2 Two-particle system Do an experiment to find CM in a two-particle system. As an example, we consider a baton consists of two particles m1 , m2 at its ends A and B, connected by a thin rigid rod of fixed length and negligible mass. A m 1 B m2 m2 2m1 We give the rod a push along the frictionless horizontal surface and examine its motion. Snapshots of the locations of points A and B at successive intervals of time. Clearly both m1 and m2 are accelerated, however, one point in the rod (point C) moves with constant velocity. If point c is regarded as a reference, A and B points rotate with a constant rotational speed. View the motion from the reference of point C. So point c is actually the center of mass. Fig 7-5 By building a Cartesian coordinate, position of point c is found at : m1r1 m2 r2 rcm m1 m2 ycm r1 rcm C r2 ' rcm C’ m2 O m1 (7-1) or written as: xcm y x m1 x1 m2 x 2 m1 m2 m1 y1 m2 y 2 m1 m2 (7-2) C B m2 A m 1 From Eq. (7-1), the velocity and acceleration of the CM are: d rcm m1 v1 m2 v 2 vcm (7-4) dt m1 m2 a cm d vcm m1 a1 m2 a 2 dt m1 m2 Can we also find acm is zero from Eq. (7-6)? m1 a1 m2 a2 F1r F2 r ac 0 (7-6) F2 r F1r How about the motion if the system has net external forces? Suppose there is an external force on each particle in above expt., then m1 a1 m2 a2 F1 F2 F1ext F1r F2ext F2r F1r F2 r 0, and if write F1ext F2ext Fext m a m a 1 1 2 2 m1a1 m2a2 Fext acm m1 m2 F ext (m1 m2 ) acm Newton’s second law for systems of particles This looks very like a particle of mass m1 m2 located at the center of mass. 7-3 Many-particle system Consider a system consisting of N particles of masses m1 m2 …… mN . The total mass is M mn (7-10) Each particle can berepresented by its location rn, velocity v n and its acceleration a n. The CM of the system can be defined by logical extension of Eq(7-1): rcm m1 r1 m2 r2 mN rN 1 m1 m2 mN M mn rn (7-11) In terms of components, Eq(7-11) can be written as (7-12) 1 1 1 y m y xcm m x n n , z cm mn z n . n n , cm M M M Taking the derivative of Eq(7-11) vcm 1 M m n (7-13) vn Differentiating once again: a cm 1 M m n (7-14) an Or M acm mn an F1 F2 FN (7-15) By Newton’s third law, in Eq(7-15) the vector sum of all the internal forces is cancelled, and Eq(7-15) reduces to Fext Macm (7-16) Eq(7-16) is just the Newton’s second law for the system of N particles treated as a single particle of mass M located at the center of mass( rcm), experiencing acm . 1 rcm M a cm 1 M mn rn m n an We can summarize this important result as follow: “The overall translational motion of a system of particles can be analyze using Newton’s law as if the mass were concentrated at the center of mass and the total external force were applied at that point.” These are general results that apply equally well to a solid object. Sample problem 7-3 A projectile(射弹) of mass 9.8kg is launched from the ground with initial velocity of 12.4m/s at 54 an angle of above the horizontal (Fig 7-11). At some time after its launch, an explosion splits the projectile into two pieces. One piece of mass 6.5kg, is observed at 1.42s after the launch at a height of 5.9m and a horizontal distance of 13.6m from the launch point. Find the location of the second fragment at that same time. v0 0 CM m 2 m 1 Solution: If the projectile had not exploded, the location of the projectile at t=1.42s should have been x v0 x t (7.3m / s) 1.42s 10.4m 1 2 y v0 y t gt 2 1 (10.0m / s ) (1.42s ) (9.80m / s 2 ) (1.42s) 2 2 4.3m It is the location of the CM. ? xcm m1 x1 m2 x 2 m1 m2 ycm ? m1 y1 m2 y 2 m1 m2 By Eq(7-12) Mx cm m1 x1 x2 m2 (9.6kg) (10.4m) (6.5kg) (13.6m) 3.1kg 3.7 m Fig 7-11 My cm m1 y1 y2 0.9m m2 v0 0 Cm m2 m 1 7-4 Center of mass of solid objects 1) If an object has symmetry, the CM must lie at the geometrical symmetrical center of the object.
