Two blocks of masses $5 \,kg$ and $2 \,kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a velocity of $7 \,m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ....... $m/s$.

Two blocks of masses $5 \, kg$ and $2 \, kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse provides a velocity of $7 \, m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ............ $m/s$.

In a system of two particles of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$,the first particle is moved by a distance $d$ towards the centre of mass. To keep the centre of mass unchanged,the second particle will have to be moved by a distance:

Two blocks of masses $2 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ are tied to the ends of a string which passes over a light frictionless pulley. The blocks are held at rest at the same horizontal level and then released suddenly. The distance traversed by their centre of mass in $2 \,s$ is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,m$)

Two men $A$ and $B$ are standing on a plank. $B$ is at the middle of the plank and $A$ is at the left end of the plank. The bottom surface of the plank is smooth. The system is initially at rest and the masses are as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ start moving such that the position of $B$ remains fixed with respect to the ground and $A$ meets $B$. Then the point where $A$ meets $B$ is located at

The figure shows a man of mass $m$ standing at the end $A$ of a trolley of mass $M$ placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end $B$ with a velocity $u_{rel}$ with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is $L$. Choose the correct statement.
