Two blocks of masses $5 \, kg$ and $2 \, kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse provides a velocity of $7 \, m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ............ $m/s$.

$A$ 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 centre of mass of the $A+B$ system until the string becomes vertical is
