The centre of mass of a body is a point at which the whole mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated. If the body consists of two particles of masses with
and
as their position vectors, then the position vector of the centre of mass is
Similarly, velocity of centre of mass of two particles moving with velocities and
is
, and
Acceleration of centre of mass of two particles having acceleration and
is
For an isolated system, where no external force acts, and
