Statement 1: |
Centre of mass of an isolated system has a constant velocity |
Statement 2: |
If the centre of mass of an isolated system is already at rest, it remains at rest |
a) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1 |
b) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1 |
c) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False |
d) |
Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True |

d) |
Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True |
(b) For an isolated system, no external force is acting in the absence of external force, linear momentum of centre of mass is unchanged. And so velocity of centre of mass remains constant |
