A child sits stationary at one end of a long trolley moving uniformly with a speed \(v\) on a smooth horizontal floor. If the child gets up and runs about on the trolley in any manner, then the speed of the centre of mass of the (trolley + child) system:
1. decreases
2. increases
3. remains unchanged
4. none of these
