Two identical bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses have initial velocities $v_1 = 4\hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = 4\hat{j} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. The body $A$ has acceleration $a_1 = 6\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2$ while the acceleration of the other body $B$ is zero. The centre of mass of the two bodies moves in . . . . . . path.

Two blocks of masses $10\,kg$ and $4\,kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a velocity of $14\,m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ........ $m/s$.

$A$ boy of mass $20\, kg$ is standing on an $80\, kg$ cart that is free to move. There is negligible friction between the cart and the ground. Initially,the boy is standing $25\, m$ from a wall. If he walks $10\, m$ on the cart towards the wall,then the final distance of the boy from the wall will be ........ $m$

As shown in the figure,two blocks are connected with a light spring. When the spring is at its natural length,velocities are given to them as shown in the figure. Choose the wrong alternative.
