Momentum and CollisionHard
Question
Two particles which are intially at rest, move towards each other due to the action of their internal attraction. If their speed are v and 2v at any instant, then the speed of the centre of mass of the system will be
Options
A.2 v
B.zero
C.1.5 v
D.v
Solution
As no external force is acting on the system, the center of mass must be at rest i.e.,
vCM = 0
vCM = 0
