Question:medium
Two objects P and Q initially at rest move towards each other under mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the velocity of P is \(v\) and that of Q is \(2v\), the velocity of centre of mass of the system is
Two objects P and Q initially at rest move towards each other under mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the velocity of P is \(v\) and that of Q is \(2v\), the velocity of centre of mass of the system is
Show Hint
If no external force acts, centre of mass velocity remains constant.
