Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ start to move towards each other due to mutual gravitational force. If distance covered by $m_1$ is $x$, then the distance covered by $m_2$ is

A

$\frac{{{m_2}x}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}$

B

$\frac{{{m_2}x}}{{{m_1}}}$

C

$\frac{{{m_1}x}}{{{m_2}}}$

D

$\frac{{{m_1}x}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}$

Solution

$m_1x_1 = m_2x_2$
