  • A
    $F/M$
  • B
    $2F/M$
  • C
    $F/2M$
  • D

$A$ system of two particles has masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is pushed towards the centre of mass of the particles through a distance $d$,by what distance should the particle of mass $m_2$ be moved to keep the centre of mass of the particles at the original position?

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ start to move towards each other due to mutual gravitational force. If the distance covered by $m_1$ is $x$,then the distance covered by $m_2$ is:

Two blocks of masses $2 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ are tied to the ends of a string which passes over a light frictionless pulley. The blocks are held at rest at the same horizontal level and then released suddenly. The distance traversed by their centre of mass in $2 \,s$ is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,m$)

$A$ particle of mass $3m$ is projected from the ground at some angle with the horizontal. The horizontal range is $R$. At the highest point of its path,it breaks into two pieces of mass $m$ and $2m$. The smaller mass comes to rest,and the larger mass finally falls at a distance $x$ from the point of projection. The value of $x$ is:
