Two balls are thrown in the air. The second ball is thrown $2 \ s$ after the first ball. What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the two balls while they are in the air?

  • A
    Depends on the direction of the motion of the balls
  • B
    Depends on the masses of the balls
  • C
    Depends on the speed of the two balls
  • D
    Is equal to $g$

There are some passengers inside a stationary railway compartment. The track is frictionless. The centre of mass of the compartment itself (without the passengers) is $C_1$,while the centre of mass of the 'compartment plus passengers' system is $C_2$. If the passengers move about inside the compartment along the track,then:

$A$ small ball $B$ of mass $m$ is suspended with a light inelastic string of length $L$ from a block $A$ of the same mass $m$,which can move on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The ball is displaced by an angle $\theta$ from the equilibrium position and then released. The displacement of the centre of mass of the $A+B$ system until the string becomes vertical is
