To find the speed of the center of mass of a system consisting of two particles of equal mass moving with the same speed in the same direction, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Masses and Speeds:** Let the mass of each particle be \( m \). Since both particles are of equal mass, we have: - Mass of Particle 1, \( m_1 = m \) - Mass of Particle 2, \( m_2 = m \) ...
