JEE Main Physics question
Statement 1: The centre of mass of a two-particle system lies on the line joining the two particles, being closer to the heavier particle. Statement 2: This is because the product of mass of one particle and its distance from the centre of mass is numerically equal to the product of mass of the other particle and its distance from the centre of mass.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Both statements are true: the CM of two particles indeed lies on the connecting line, closer to the heavier mass, and this is precisely because
