Two atoms of oxygen are located at r ₁ and r ₂ . Their centre of mass is at
Options
- Ar₁+r₂
- Br₁-r₂ 2
- Cr₁+r₂ 2
- Dr₁-r₂
Correct answer
C. r₁+r₂ 2
Step-by-step solution
Centre of mass of two atoms of oxygen is given as aligned r _ CM & = m₁ r ₁+m₂ r ₂ m₁+m₂ = m r ₁+m r ₂ m+m [ m₁=m₂=m ] & = m ( r ₁+ r ₂ ) 2 m r _ CM & = r ₁+ r ₂ 2 aligned
