$A$ 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 ........ $m$

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a massless spring of spring constant $k$ and unstretched length $l$. The masses are placed on a frictionless straight channel,which we consider our $X$-axis. They are initially at rest at $x=0$ and $x=l$,respectively. At $t=0$,a velocity of $v_0$ is suddenly imparted to the first particle. At a later time $t$,the centre of mass of the two masses is at

$A$ body of mass $m_1 = 4 \text{ kg}$ moves at $5 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and another body of mass $m_2 = 2 \text{ kg}$ moves at $10 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$. The kinetic energy of the centre of mass is:
