A ball kept in a closed box moves in the box making collisions with the walls. The box is kept on a smooth surface. The velocity of the centre of mass

A

of the box remains constant

B

of the box plus the ball system remains constant

C

of the ball remains constant

D

of the ball relative to the block remains constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Net external force is zero. Hence, velocity of CM of the box and ball system will remain constant.
