Q1. An object's center of mass moves at a constant velocity v along a straight line past the origin. The accompanying figure shows the coordinate system and the line of motion. The dots show positions that are 1 sec apart. Why are the areas A1, A2, c, A5 in the figure all equal? The line that joins the object's center of mass to the origin sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

A particle P of mass m, which is on the negative x-axis, is moving towards the origin at a constant speed u. When P reaches the origin, it experiences the force F = -Kx^2, where K is a positive constant. How far does P get along the positive x-axis? Four particles, each of mass m, are situated at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron of side a. Find the gravitational force exerted on any one of the particles by the other three.

3 particles of masses $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ each are placed such that 1 st one lies on $-$ ve $x$ -axis, 2 nd one lies on -ve $y$ -axis and the third one lies on $+$ ve $z$ -axis at distances of $2 \mathrm{~m}, 3 \mathrm{~m}$ and $1 \mathrm{~m}$ respectively from the origin. Then the square of the distance of centre of mass of the system from the origin is (a) $1.55 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ (b) $\sqrt{1.55} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ (c) $1.55 \mathrm{~m}$ (d) $1.25 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
Coordinates of two particles moving in $x-y$ plane as function of time are $(3 t, 0) \mathrm{m}$ and $\left(0,1.5 t^{2}\right) \mathrm{m}$. Masses of particles are $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ respectively.
