A child is standing at one end of a long trolley moving with a speed  $v$  on a smooth horizontal floor. If the child starts running towards the other end of the trolley with a speed $u,$  the centre of mass of the system (trolley + child) will move with a speed.

  • A

    zero

  • B

    $(v\,+\,u)$

  • C

    $(v\,-\,u)$

  • D

    $v$
