Two particles of equal mass have velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_1=4 \hat{i} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_2=4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a}_1=(5 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}$ while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a path of

$A$ boy of mass $20\, kg$ is standing on an $80\, kg$ cart that is free to move. There is negligible friction between the cart and the ground. Initially,the boy is standing $25\, m$ from a wall. If he walks $10\, m$ on the cart towards the wall,then the final distance of the boy from the wall will be ........ $m$
