In free space,a shell moving with velocity $60\,m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis passes through the origin and explodes into two pieces with a mass ratio of $1:2$. After the explosion,the velocity of the centre of mass is ....... $m/s$.

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ start to move towards each other due to mutual gravitational force. If the distance covered by $m_1$ is $x$,then the distance covered by $m_2$ is:

The figure shows a man of mass $m$ standing at the end $A$ of a trolley of mass $M$ placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end $B$ with a velocity $u_{rel}$ with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is $L$. When the man reaches the end $B$,the distance moved by the trolley with respect to ground is
