A trolley with a child moves at V on a smooth floor. The child runs about. CM speed?
ASmaller than V always
BDrops to zero value
CLarger than V always
DStays equal to V
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Stays equal to V
The child's pushes are internal forces, so the total momentum and hence the CM velocity stay at V.
