NEETPhysicsCenter of Mass and CollisionMCQ+4 / −1
Two particles A and B initially at rest, move towards each other under mutual force of attraction. At an instance when the speed of A is v and speed of B is 3v, the speed of centre of mass is :
- A2v
- Bzero
- Cv
- D4v
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Final velocity of centre of mass = Initial velocity of centre of mass = 0 because net external force on system is zero.
