Questions and Answers

What is the key concept for understanding the motion of extended bodies in this chapter?

Linear momentum of a single particle

Angular velocity of a system

Equilibrium of a rigid body

Centre of mass of a system of particles (correct)

In the context of dealing with the motion of extended bodies, why is the idealized model of a particle inadequate?

Because any real body encountered in daily life has a finite size (correct)

Because extended bodies cannot be in motion

Because the concept of centre of mass is not applicable to extended bodies

Because particles are too small to represent real bodies

What will be the focus at the beginning of the consideration of the motion of an extended body?

Angular momentum of individual particles

Motion of the system as a whole (correct)

Torque and angular momentum

Linear momentum of individual particles

What is the concept of the centre of mass in the context of the motion of extended bodies?

The centre of mass of a system of particles is the average position of the mass distribution, and it behaves as if all the mass of the system were concentrated at that point. Signup and view all the answers

How is the motion of a system of particles described in terms of the motion of a particle?

The motion of a system of particles can be described in terms of the motion of a particle by considering the motion of the centre of mass of the system. Signup and view all the answers

What is the relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity?

The angular velocity of a rotating body is related to its linear velocity by the formula $v = rω$, where $v$ is the linear velocity, $r$ is the radius, and $ω$ is the angular velocity. Signup and view all the answers

What is the concept of torque and angular momentum in rotational motion?

Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate, and angular momentum is the measure of a body's tendency to continue rotating. Signup and view all the answers

How is the equilibrium of a rigid body achieved?

The equilibrium of a rigid body is achieved when the net force and net torque acting on the body are both zero. Signup and view all the answers
