Two particles of masses $2 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ are moving along the same line with speeds of $2 \ m/s$ and $5 \ m/s$ respectively. If both particles are moving in the same direction,the speed of the centre of mass is $v_1$. If both particles are moving in opposite directions,the speed of the centre of mass is $v_2$. Find $v_1$ and $v_2$.

$A$ system of two particles has masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is pushed towards the centre of mass of the particles through a distance $d$,by what distance should the particle of mass $m_2$ be moved to keep the centre of mass of the particles at the original position?

Two identical particles are moving with velocities $2v$ and $v$ respectively. Find the velocity of the center of mass.
