Two particles which are initially at rest move towards each other under the action of their mutual attraction. If their speeds are $v$ and $2v$ at any instant,then the speed of the center of mass of the system is,

Consider a system of two identical particles. One of the particles is at rest and the other has an acceleration $\vec{f}$. The centre of mass has an acceleration

$A$ cart of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope of length $10\, m$. The other end of the rope is held by a man of mass $M$. The entire system is on a smooth horizontal surface. The man is at $x = 0$ and the cart is at $x = 10\, m$. If the man pulls the cart by the rope,the man and the cart will meet at the point:

$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at one end of the rod at an angle $\theta$ with the rod. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the rod is:
