Will the velocity V2 be greater than or less than velocity V1 in the attached sketch? Yes and why or No and why not.
The increase in velocity of center of mass refers to the change in the speed and direction of the average position of the mass of a system. It is a measure of how fast the center of mass is moving and in what direction.
The increase in velocity of center of mass is affected by the total mass of the system, the distribution of mass within the system, and the external forces acting on the system.
The increase in velocity of center of mass can be calculated using the equation: ∆Vcm = (1/M) ∑mi∆Vi, where M is the total mass of the system, mi is the mass of each individual component, and ∆Vi is the change in velocity of each component.
The units of measurement for increase in velocity of center of mass are meters per second (m/s) or any other unit of velocity such as kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
The increase in velocity of center of mass is important in understanding the overall motion and behavior of a system. It can also help in predicting the future movement of the system and determining the amount of external force needed to change its velocity.
