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

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

remains at rest

Option C is correct. Since the particles are initially at rest and attract each other due to internal forces, there is no external force acting on the system. Therefore, the center of mass remains at rest.
