Two paricle A and B initially at rest, move towards each other under mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the speed of A is V and the speed of B is 2V, the speed of the centre of mass of the system is

A

zero

B

`v`

C

`(3v)/(2)`

D

`(3y)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Initially , `v_(c.m.) = 0`
Since there is no external force , `v_(c.m.)` remains same. Therefore `v_(c.m.)` is always zero.
