Two particles of mass 1 kg and 3 kg move towards each other under their mutual force of attraction. No other force acts on them. When the relative velocity of approach of the two particles is 2m/s, their centre of mass has a velocity of 0.5 m/s. When the relative velocity of approach becomes 3m/s, the velocity of the centre of mass is 0.75 m/s.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since no external force is acting on the two particle system
`:.a_(CM)=0`
`implies V_(CM)=`constant

Statement-1: Two particles of mass 1 kg and 3 kg move towards each other under their mutual force of attraction. No other force acts on them. When the relative velocity of approach of the two particles is 2 m//s , their centre of mass has a velocity of 0.5 m//s . When the relative velocity of approach becomes 3 m//s the velocity of the centre of mass is 0.75 m//s . Statement-2: The total kinetic energy as seen from ground is 1/2muv_(rel)^(2)+1/2mv_(c)^(2) and in absence of external force, total energy remains conserved.
