Question

Two particles of mass m1 and m2(m1 >m2) attract each other with a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. If the particles are initially held at rest and then released, the centre of mass will (A) move towards m1 (B) move towards m2 (C) remains at rest (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (c) remains at rest

Q. Two particles of mass $m_{1}$ and $m_{2} (m_{1} > m_{2})$ attract each other with a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. If the particles are initially held at rest and then released, the centre of mass will

move towards $m_{1}$

move towards $m_{2}$

remains at rest

None of these

Correct answer is (c) remains at rest
