Question

(17)
Consider a system of two particles having masses
2 kg and 5 kg. If the particle of mass 2 kg is
pushed towards the centre of mass of particles
through a distance 5 m, by what distance would
particle of mass 5 kg move so as to keep the
centre of mass of particles at the original position?
(1) 2 m
(2) 12.5 m
(3) 8 m
(4) 5 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

5m is the original position.

Answer 2

Answer:

2M

Explanation:

M₁ x D₁ = M₂ x D₂

       D₂ = M₁ x D₁ / M₂

       D₂ = 2 x 5 / 5

      D₂ = 2 M
