$A$ system consists of two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ separated by a distance $r$. If the particles move towards each other with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,the velocity of the centre of mass of the system is:

  • A
    $\frac{m_1v_1 + m_2v_2}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_1v_1 - m_2v_2}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{m_2v_2 - m_1v_1}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • D
    Zero

If a gas is filled in a stationary sphere,its molecules are in random motion due to thermal energy. Will the center of mass of these molecules be in motion?

$A$ block of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block and the man are resting on a rough plank of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man pulls the rope. The pulley is massless and frictionless. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the plank when the block meets the pulley? (The man does not leave his position on the plank during the pull).
