The correct answer is:
Initial position of center of mass,
Initial velocity of center of mass,
This velocity remains constant as the internal forces during collision do not change the velocity of the center of mass. Therefore distance travelled by the center of mass in ,
Final position of center of mass,
Initial velocity of center of mass,
This velocity remains constant as the internal forces during collision do not change the velocity of the center of mass. Therefore distance travelled by the center of mass in ,
Final position of center of mass,
