König's theorem (kinetics)
Encyclopedia
Konig's theorem is related to kinetics
of a system of particles.
associated to the movement of the center of mass
and the kinetic energy associated to the movement of the particles relative to the center of mass.
Kinetics (physics)
In physics and engineering, kinetics is a term for the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion of bodies and its causes, namely forces and torques...

The theorem
It states that the kinetic energy of a system of particles is the kinetic energyKinetic energy
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion.It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes...

Center of mass
In physics, the center of mass or barycenter of a system is the average location of all of its mass. In the case of a rigid body, the position of the center of mass is fixed in relation to the body...
