Two particles $A$ and $B$ initially at rest move towards each other under a mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the velocity of $A$ is $v$ and that of $B$ is $2v$,the velocity of the centre of mass of the system is:

  • A
    $v$
  • B
    $2v$
  • C
    $3v$
  • D

$A$ projectile of mass $3m$ explodes at its highest point into three equal fragments. One fragment returns to the point of projection. The second fragment comes to rest. The distance of the third fragment from the point of projection when it lands on the ground is ......... $m$. (The range of the projectile without explosion was $100 \ m$)

Two blocks of masses $2 \text{ kg}$ and $1 \text{ kg}$ respectively, are tied to the ends of a string which passes over a light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The masses are held at rest at the same horizontal level and then released. The distance traversed by the centre of mass in $2 \text{ s}$ is . . . . . . $\text{m}$. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

Two particles of mass $m$ each are fixed at the opposite ends of a massless rod of length $5 \ m$ which is oriented vertically on a smooth horizontal surface and released. Find the displacement of the lower mass on the ground when the rod makes an angle of $37^o$ with the vertical. (in $m$)
