A child is sitting at one end of a long trolley moving with a uniform speed v on a smooth horizontal track. If the child starts running towards the other end of the trolley with a speed u (w.r.t. trolley), the speed of the centre of mass of the system will.

The figure shows a man of mass m standing at the end A of a trolley of maas M placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end B with a velocity u_(rel) with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is L. When the man reaches the end B, the distance moves . by the trolley with respect to ground is:

The figure shows a man of mass m standing at the end A of a trolley of maas M placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end B with a velocity u_(rel) with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is L. The velocity of the man with respect to ground v_(1) will be:

A man of mass m is standing at one end of a trolley of mass M and length L placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the other end and covers distance L, then distance moved by man w.r.t ground is

The figure shows a man of mass m standing at the end A of a trolley of maas M placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end B with a velocity u_(rel) with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is L. As the man walks on the trolley, the centre of mass of the system (man+ trolley) :

The figure shows a man of mass m standing at the end A of a trolley of maas M placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end B with a velocity u_(rel) with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is L. The time taken by the man to reach the other end is:

The figure shows a man of mass m standing at the end A of a trolley of maas M placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end B with a velocity u_(rel) with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is L. Choose the correct statement:

The figure shows a man of mass m standing at the end A of a trolley of maas M placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end B with a velocity u_(rel) with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is L. When the man starts moving, then the velocity of the trolley v_(2) with respect to ground will be:
