Explanation
Two particles A and B, initially at rest, moves towards each other under a mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the speed of A is u and the speed of B is 2u, the speed of centre of mass is
We have
torque =τ=rFsin90°=LF4
And perpendicular axis theorem gives us
I=I2=Ix+Iy=ML212
Angular acceleration,
α=τI=LF4×(12ML2)=3FML
If θ is the angle rotated in time t, and initial angular velocity w0being zero we have
θ=w0t+12αt2=3Ft22ML
