$A$ 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 block when the ball reaches the equilibrium position is

Two identical bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses have initial velocities $v_1 = 4\hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = 4\hat{j} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. The body $A$ has acceleration $a_1 = 6\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2$ while the acceleration of the other body $B$ is zero. The centre of mass of the two bodies moves in . . . . . . path.

Consider a system of two identical particles. One of the particles is at rest and the other has an acceleration $\vec{f}$. The centre of mass has an acceleration

The figure shows the positions and velocities of two particles. If the particles move under their mutual attraction,then the position of the centre of mass at $t = 1\,s$ is
