A man weighing is standing in a trolley weighing . The trolley is resting on frictionless horizontal rails. If the man starts walking on the trolley with a speed of , then after his displacement relative to the ground will be in m is |

Displacement of the man with respect to trolley in
Position of centre of mass remain constant
Alternatively: If the man starts walking on the trolley in the forward direction then whole system will move in backward direction with same momentum.
Momentum of man in forward direction = Momentum of system (man + trolley) in backward direction
So the velocity of man w.r.t. ground
Displacement of man w.r.t. ground
