Two blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ are connected by a massless string which passes over a fixed frictionless pulley. If the system of blocks is released from rest,the speed of the centre of mass of the system of two blocks after a time of $5.4 \ s$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $ms^{-1}$)

$A$ ball of mass $100 \ g$ is dropped at time $t=0$. $A$ second ball of mass $200 \ g$ is dropped from the same point at $t=0.2 \ s$. The distance between the center of mass of the two balls and the release point at $t=0.4 \ s$ is: (Assume $g=10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m$)

There are some passengers inside a stationary railway compartment. The track is frictionless. The centre of mass of the compartment itself (without the passengers) is $C_1$,while the centre of mass of the 'compartment plus passengers' system is $C_2$. If the passengers move about inside the compartment along the track,then:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air,its fragments fly in such a way that the centre of mass of the fragments continues to move along the same parabolic path that the firecracker would have followed had it not exploded.
Reason $(R)$: The explosion of a firecracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only,and no external force acts to cause this explosion.

Two particles which are initially at rest,move towards each other under the action of their internal attraction. If their speeds are $v$ and $2v$ at any instant,then the speed of the centre of mass of the system will be
