What effect do internal forces have on the motion of the CM?
AThey speed up the CM
BThey slow down the CM
CThey reverse the CM
DThey do not affect the CM
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. They do not affect the CM
Internal forces occur in equal and opposite pairs, so their vector sum is zero and the CM motion is unchanged.
