The figure shows the positions and velocities of two particles. If the particles move under the mutual attraction of each other, then the position of the centre of mass at t = 1   sec is x   m . The value of x is
Correct answer
6
Step-by-step solution
According to the question, Let A be the object of mass 1   kg and moving in positive x -direction with 5   m   s - 1 and B be the object of mass 1   kg and moving in negative x -direction with 3   m   s - 1 . Now, let x 1 and x 2 be the positions of objects A and B after 1   sec . We know that v   =   S t , where, v is the velocity, S is the displacement, t is the time. ∴   x 1 = 2   m + 5   m   s - 1 × 1   sec = 7   m , x 2 = 8 &
