Two identical bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses have initial velocities $v_1 = 4\hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = 4\hat{j} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. The body $A$ has acceleration $a_1 = 6\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} \text{ m/s}^2$ while the acceleration of the other body $B$ is zero. The centre of mass of the two bodies moves in . . . . . . path.
