If the system is released,then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the system is

$A$ projectile of mass $M$ is fired so that the horizontal range is $4\, km$. At the highest point,the projectile explodes into two parts of masses $M/4$ and $3M/4$ respectively. The heavier part starts falling down vertically with zero initial speed. The horizontal range (distance from the point of firing) of the lighter part is .................. $km$.

$A$ body of mass $m_1 = 4 \text{ kg}$ moves at $5 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and another body of mass $m_2 = 2 \text{ kg}$ moves at $10 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$. The kinetic energy of the centre of mass is:

Two skaters $A$ and $B$ of weights in the ratio $5 : 7$ start facing each other $6\,m$ apart on a horizontal smooth surface. They pull on a rope stretched between them. How far has each moved when they meet?

Two particles which are initially at rest,move towards each other under the action of their internal attraction. If their speeds are $v$ and $2v$ at any instant,then the speed of centre of mass of the system will be

Two particles of equal masses have velocities $\overrightarrow{v_1} = 2\hat{i} \ m/s$ and $\overrightarrow{v_2} = 2\hat{j} \ m/s$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a_1} = (3\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \ m/s^2$,while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a
