Two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ initially at rest start moving towards each other under their mutual force of attraction. The speed of the centre of mass at any time $t$,when they are at a distance $r$ apart,is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\left( {G\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{m_1}}}} \right)\,t$
  • C
    $\left( {G\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{m_2}}}} \right)\,t$
  • D
    $\left( {G\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}} \right)\,t$

Three men $A, B$ and $C$ of masses $40\,kg, 50\,kg$ and $60\,kg$ are standing on a plank of mass $90\,kg$,which is kept on a smooth horizontal plane. If $A$ and $C$ exchange their positions,then mass $B$ will shift:

Two particles of masses $2 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ are moving along the same line with speeds of $2 \ m/s$ and $5 \ m/s$ respectively. If both particles are moving in the same direction,the speed of the centre of mass is $v_1$. If both particles are moving in opposite directions,the speed of the centre of mass is $v_2$. Find $v_1$ and $v_2$.

Two particles of equal mass have velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_1=4 \hat{i} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_2=4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$.
