To solve the problem of finding the velocity of the center of mass of two particles moving towards each other with given velocities, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System We have two particles initially at rest. They are moving towards each other due to internal forces. Let’s denote the masses of the particles as \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \). ### Step 2: Define the Velocities Let the velocity of the first particle (moving towards the second) be \( v \) and the velocity of the second particle (moving towards the first) be \( 2v \). ...
