A ball kept in a close 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 `+` ball) system remains constant

C

of the ball remains constant

D

of the ball relative to the box remains constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As no external force acts on the ball `+` box system, hence velcilty of the system remains constant.
