Q: Particles of masses 2 M , m and M are respectively at points A, B and C with AB = (1/2) (BC). M is much-much smaller than M and at time t = 0 , they are all at rest as given in figure. At subsequent times before any collision takes place

Numerical

(a) m will remain at rest

(b) m will move towards M

(c) m will move towards 2M

(d) m will have oscillatory motion

Ans: (c)
