Two particles of masses

m_1

and

m_2\left(m_1 > m_2\right)

, initially at rest, moves towards each other under an inverse square law force of attraction. Pick out the correct statement about the centre of mass (CM) of the system

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

The CM remains at rest

Option C (The CM remains at rest) is correct because, in the absence of external forces, the center of mass of the system remains at rest, regardless of the internal forces.
