Two particles of masses $1\ kg$ and $3\ kg$ move towards each other under their mutual force of attraction. No other force acts on them. When the relative velocity of approach of the two particles is $2\ m/s,$ their centre of mass has a velocity of $0.5\ m/s$. When the relative velocity of approach becomes $3\ m/s,$ the velocity of the centre of mass is ........ $m/s$.

The figure shows a man of mass $m$ standing at the end $A$ of a trolley of mass $M$ placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end $B$ with a velocity $u_{rel}$ with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is $L$. The distance moved by the man with respect to ground is

Two blocks,each of mass $m$,are connected to each other by a massless string and placed on two inclined planes as shown in the figure. After releasing the system from rest,find the magnitude of the acceleration of the centre of mass of the two blocks. (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
