Task:
Three balls A, B and C have 10g , 20g and 30g mass respectively. The ball A is released from rest and ball B and C are thrown straight upward with initial speed of 5m/s and 10m/s upward respectively. What are the motions of all masses?
Solution:
A:sA=sA0+vA0⋅t+2a⋅t2=s0−2g⋅t2B:sB=sB0+vB0⋅t+2a⋅t2=5sm⋅t−2g⋅t2C:sC=sC0+vC0⋅t+2a⋅t2=10sm⋅t−2g⋅t2
Motion of the center of mass:
