5. Initially the electron and proton were at rest so their centre of mass will be at rest. When they move
towards each other under mutual attraction then velocity of centre of mass remains unaffected
because external force on the system is zero.
6. Explosion is due to internal forces. As no external force is involved, the vertical downward motion of
centre of mass is not affected.
8. Two spheres of masses 2M and M are initially at rest at a distance R apart. Due to mutual force of
<

attraction, they approach each other. When they are at separation , the acceleration of the
centre of mass of spheres would be

9. A cart of mass M is tied by one end of a massless rope of length 10 m. The other end of the rope is
in the hands of a man of mass M. The entire system is on a smooth horizontal surface. The man is
at x=0 and the cart at x=10 m. If the man pulls the cart by the rope, the man and the cart will meet
at the point
(1) x = 0 (2) x = 5m (3) x = 10m (4) They will never meet
8. Initial acceleration of the system is zero. So it will always remain zero because there is no external
force on the system.
9. In the absence of external force, position of centre of mass remain same therefore they will meet at
their centre of mass.
