Gravi
Two particles A and B of masses 1 kg and 2 kg respectively are kept 1 m apart and are released to move under mutual attraction. Find the speed of A when that of B is 3.6 cm/hour. What is the separation between the particles at this instant ?
im able to do the first part but i dont understand what is going on in second part

to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Energy conservation lagegi I suppose
hn par i dont get ki bhai kaise le rhe
approach smj nhi ara
Well, for the first one conserve momentum, for the second one use energy conservation. So,
$\frac{-GMm}{x{initial}}=\frac{mv^{2}}{2}+\frac{Mu^{2}}{2}-\frac{GMm}{x{final}}$, where v and u are velocities of mass m and M

And x_initial and x_final are seprations initially and finally.
wont both the masses have a gravi potential?
For 2 bodies we only write the potential once.
oh ok
okk got it
