Two blocks of masses $10\,kg$ and $4\,kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a velocity of $14\,m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ........ $m/s$.

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a massless spring of spring constant $k$ and unstretched length $l$. The masses are placed on a frictionless straight channel,which we consider our $X$-axis. They are initially at rest at $x=0$ and $x=l$,respectively. At $t=0$,a velocity of $v_0$ is suddenly imparted to the first particle. At a later time $t$,the centre of mass of the two masses is at
