Two particles of mass $m$ each are fixed at the opposite ends of a massless rod of length $5 \ m$ which is oriented vertically on a smooth horizontal surface and released. Find the displacement of the lower mass on the ground when the rod makes an angle of $37^o$ with the vertical. (in $m$)

Two bodies of masses $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are moving with velocities $20 \ m/s$ and $10 \ m/s$ towards each other due to mutual gravitational attraction. What is the velocity of their centre of mass (in $m/s$)?

$A$ system consists of two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ separated by a distance $r$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is moved towards the centre of mass by a distance $d$,then the particle of mass $m_2$ must be moved by a distance $d'$ so that the centre of mass remains at the same position. The value of $d'$ is:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air,its fragments fly in such a way that the centre of mass of the fragments continues to move along the same parabolic path that the firecracker would have followed had it not exploded.
Reason $(R)$: The explosion of a firecracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only,and no external force acts to cause this explosion.
