Does the total kinetic energy stay constant when you change reference frames? I think that was the main thing I wasn't sure of.

not at the center along the horizontal axis parallel to the motion nor in the vertical axis.

Sorry. "right front corner" was a typo. Should be "lower front corner". The center of mass is in the center of the block in the horizontal direction perpendicular to movement.

Homework Statement This isn't strictly homework, but the nature of my problem is similar to homework problems: A block with mass m and it's center of mass not necessarily at the center is sliding along a frictionless surface. The center of mass is distance r from the right front corner of...
