### Understanding the Motion of Center of Mass#### AbstractUnderstand that, for many purposes, a system can be treated as a point-like particle with its mass concentrated at the center of mass.A complex system of objects, both point-like and extended ones, can often be treated as a point particle, located at the system's center of mass. Such an approach can greatly simplify problem-solving.#### Problem DescriptionRecall that the blocks can only move along the x-axis. The x components of their velocities at a certain moment are \( v_{1x} \) and \( v_{2x} \). Find the x component of the velocity of the center of mass \((v_{\text{cm}})_x\) at that moment. Keep in mind that, in general: \( v_x = \frac{dx}{dt} \).Express your answer in terms of \( m_1 \), \( m_2 \), \( v_{1x} \), and \( v_{2x} \).##### Expression Input\[ (v_{\text{cm}})_x = \]\[ \begin{array}{|c|} \hline \\ \\ \\ \hline \end{array} \]#### Figure ExplanationThe figure depicts a horizontal axis representing the x-axis.
