$A$ system of two particles has masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is pushed towards the centre of mass of the particles through a distance $d$,by what distance should the particle of mass $m_2$ be moved to keep the centre of mass of the particles at the original position?

Two particles of equal mass have velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_1=4 \hat{i} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_2=4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a}_1=(5 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}$ while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a path of
