Question

(1) The center of mass of an object must always be locatedwhere the physical material of the object is located. True orFalse (2) Is it possible for a system to have negative potentialenergy? a. Yes, as long as the tatol energy is positive. b. No, because the kinetic energy of a system must equal itspotential energy. c. Yes, since the choice of the zero of potential energyis arbitrary. d. No, because this would have no physical meaning. (1) The center of mass of an object must always be locatedwhere the physical material of the object is located.
