Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 12
Figure 9.12 shows four graphs of position versus time for two bodies and their center of mass. The two bodies form a closed, isolated system and undergo a completely inelastic, one-dimensional collision on an x axis. In graph 1, are (a) the two bodies and (b) the center of mass moving in the positive or negative direction of the x axis? (c) Which of the graphs correspond to a physically impossible situation? Explain.
