$A$ system consists of two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is moved towards the centre of mass through a distance $d$,then the distance the second particle should be moved,so as to keep the centre of mass at the same position is

Two particles of equal mass have velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_1=4 \hat{i} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_2=4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a}_1=(5 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}$ while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a path of
