Two objects form a system. The mass of object 1 is 3 times more massive than the mass of object 2: m₁ = 3m₂. At a certain instant, object 1 is at location (10,-8,6) m, moving with velocity (4,6, -2) m/s. At the same instant, object 2 is at location (3,0, -2) m, moving with velocity (-8,2,7) m/s. a. What is the location of the center of mass? b. What is the velocity of the center of mass? What is the total momentum of the system? C.
