Two particles of masses $3 \ kg$ and $6 \ kg$ are approaching towards each other with accelerations $2 \ m/s^2$ and $4 \ m/s^2$ respectively,on a smooth horizontal surface. Then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the system is ..... $m/s^2$.

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