4. \(-\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
Three particles of masses \(100~\text{g}\), \(150~\text{g}\), and \(200~\text{g}\) respectively are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of a side \(0.5~\text{m}\) long. What is the position of the centre of mass of three particles?

| 1. | \(\left(\dfrac{5}{18} , \dfrac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}\right) \) | 2. | \(\left(\dfrac{1}{4} , 0\right) \) |

A child sits stationary at one end of a long trolley moving uniformly with a speed \(v\) on a smooth horizontal floor. If the child gets up and runs about on the trolley in any manner, then the speed of the centre of mass of the (trolley + child) system:
1. decreases
2. increases
3. remains unchanged
4. none of these

| 1. | \(4~\text{m/s} \) | 2. | \(5~\text{m/s} \) |
| 3. | \(2~\text{m/s} \) | 4. | \(3~\text{m/s} \) |
Two particles that are initially at rest, move towards each other under the action of their mutual attraction. If their speeds are \(v\) and \(2v\) at any instant, then the speed of the centre of mass of the system will be:
1. \(2v\)
2. \(0\)
3. \(1.5v\)
4. \(v\)
