प्रश्न
A 100 kg gun fires a ball of 1 kg horizontally from a cliff of height 500 m. It falls on the ground at a distance of 400 m from the bottom of the cliff. Find the recoil velocity of the gun. (acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms–2)

उत्तर
Given, the mass of the gun (m1) = 100
Mass of the ball (m2) = 1 kg
Height of the cliff = 500 m
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball (x) = 400 m
From `h = 1/2 "gt"^2` .....(∵ Initial velocity in the downward direction is zero)
`500 = 1/2 xx 10 t^2`
`t = sqrt(100)` = 10 s
From `x = ut, u = x/t = 400/10` = 40 m/s
It v is the recoil velocity of gun, then according to the principle of conservation of linear momentum,
m1v = m2u
v = `(m_2u)/m_1 = 1/100 xx 40` = 0.4 m/s

Suppose a ball of mass m is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed v, its speed decreases continuously till it becomes zero. Thereafter, the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed v again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of the initial and final momentums of the ball are the same. Yet, it is not an example of conservation of momentum. Explain why?
