heres another conceptual one .
there is a standard yet very elegant problem about a rocket bllowing up mid air and finding the final postions of the parts of the projectile using the principle of centre of mass remaining the same since the forces a re internal when the rocket blows up . now what happens if i drop a glass cup from a height will the cordinates of the centre of mass remain the same ...will the force still be internal ... can i change the system i am working with to make the force internal ?
thanks
