A man is standing at an edge of a boat. He starts moving towards the centre of the boat. As no external force is acting on the system of boat and man (neglect friction due to water) the boat will move in opposite direction.

If a boat moves along with the water stream, then the net speed or the effective speed of the boat will increase and it said to be downstream.

Q. A man is standing at the edge of a boat. He starts moving towards the centre of the boat.The boat will move in opposite direction. Why ?

Q. A man stands at one end of a boat which is stationary in water. Neglect water resistance. The man now moves to the other end of the boat and again becomes stationary. The centre of mass of the 'man plus boat' system will remain stationary with respect to water :
