Question

Two particles of equal mass have coordinates (2 m,4 m,6 m) and (6 m,2 m,8 m). Of these one particle has a velocity v1=(2^i) m/s and another particle has velocity v2=(2^j) m/s at time t=0. The coordinate of their centre of mass at time t=1 s will be

Solution

The correct option is B (5 m,4 m,7 m)
After 1 s, coordinates of first particle will become (4 m,4 m,6 m)and co-ordinates of second particle will become (6 m,4 m,8 m).
XCM=4+62=5 m
YCM=4+42=4 m
and ZCM=6+82=7 m
Note in this problem answer is independent of the fact whether the first particle has velocity v1 or v2.
