A system of particles is free from any external force. If v and a be the velocity and acceleration of the centre of mass, then it necessarily follows that

a
v→=0; a→=0
b
v→≠0; a→=0
c
v→=0; a→≠0
d
both 2 and 3

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Absence of external force, only confirms about the fact that a→ = 0. However, v→ may or may not be zero.
