Two bodies of mass $4 \,kg$ and $5 \,kg$ are moving along east and north directions with velocities $5 \,m/s$ and $3 \,m/s$ respectively. The magnitude of the velocity of the centre of mass of the system is:

  • A
    $\frac{25}{9} \,m/s$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{25} \,m/s$
  • C
    $\frac{41}{9} \,m/s$
  • D
    $\frac{16}{9} \,m/s$

Two particles $A$ and $B$,initially at rest,move towards each other under a mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the speed of $A$ is $v$ and the speed of $B$ is $2v$,the speed of the center of mass of the system is:

There are some passengers inside a stationary railway compartment. The track is frictionless. The centre of mass of the compartment itself (without the passengers) is $C_1$,while the centre of mass of the 'compartment plus passengers' system is $C_2$. If the passengers move about inside the compartment along the track,then:
