Two blocks of masses $5 \,kg$ and $2 \,kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse gives a velocity of $7 \,m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ....... $m/s$.

The figure shows a man of mass $m$ standing at the end $A$ of a trolley of mass $M$ placed at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts moving towards the end $B$ with a velocity $u_{rel}$ with respect to the trolley. The length of the trolley is $L$. Choose the correct statement.
