At `t = 0`, the positions and velocities of two particles are as shown in the figure. They are kept on a smooth surface and being mutually attracted by gravitational force. Find the position of centre of mass at `t = 2s`. .A. X = 5 mB. X = 7 mC. X = 3 mD. X = 2 m |

Answer» Correct Answer - B (b) As no external force are acting on the system. The velocity of centre of mass will be constant. `v_(cm) = (1 xx 5 - 1 xx 3)/(1 + 1) = 1 m//s` Displacement of centre of mass `Delta x_(cm) = 1 xx 2 = 2 m` Hence position of centre of mass `Delta x_(cm) = 5 + 2 = 7 m`. |
