    A system with two 3 kg mass particles having velocities \[2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]and \[4\hat{i}+6\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]is subjected to a constant force of \[24\hat{i}\,N\] for 6 s. Final velocity of centre of mass is

    A) \[3\hat{i}-1.5\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]      

    B) \[60\hat{i}-30\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[20\hat{i}-3\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]                   

    D) \[23\hat{i}-1.5\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Initial velocity of centre of mass is
    \[u=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]
    \[=\frac{3\,(2\hat{i}+3\hat{j})+3\,(4\hat{i}-6\hat{j})}{3+3}=3\hat{i}-1.5\hat{j}m{{s}^{-1}}\]
    Acceleration of centre of mass is
    \[a=\frac{F}{{{m}_{\text{system}}}}=\frac{24\hat{i}}{3+3}=4\hat{i}\,m{{s}^{-\,2}}\]
    Final velocity of centre of mass is
    \[v=u+at\]
    \[=(3\hat{i}+1.5\hat{j})+(4\hat{i}\times 5)=23\hat{i}-1.5\hat{j}\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]
