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

1.5v

D

3v

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`P_(i)=0`
`therefore` `P_(f) = 0` or center of mass should be at rest at all instants.
