Momentum and CollisionHard
Question
Two particles of masses m1 and m2(m1 > m2). intially at rest, move towers each other under an in verse square law force of attraction Pick out the correct statement about the centre of mass (CM) of the system
Options
A.The CM moves towards m1
B.The CM moves towards m2
C.The remains at rest
D.The motion of CM is accelerated
Solution
When no external force acts on the system and initially velocity of centre of mass iszero and so the centre mass remain at rest.
