1) Kinematics

Let us consider the instantaneous kinematics of the system.
Let be the mass of the wedge.
Let be the velocity of the wedge.
Let be the velocity of the block relative to the wedge.


The velocity components of the block relative to the ground are:

From there we obtain

2) Displacement of CM

Since no force acts on the system horizontally, the horizontal displacement of the center of mass must equal to 0, therefore we can write:



3) Substitution

Now we substitute V into (1):

And obtain the following: \boldmath
