A 10 g bullet travelling at 200 m/s strikes and remains embedded in a 2 kg target which is originally at rest but free to move. At what speed does the target move off ?

उत्तर
Here,
Mass of the bullet, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg
Velocity of the bullet, v = 200 m/s
Mass of the target, M = 2 kg
Mass of the (target+bullet) after hitting = V (say)
Momentum of the system before hitting = (0.01)(200) + (2)(0) = 2
Momentum of the system after hitting = (2 + 0.01)V
(after hitting the bullet sticks to the target)
Now,
By law of conservation of momentum,
Momentum of the system before hitting = Momentum of the system after hitting
⇒ 2 = (2 + 0.01)V
⇒ V = 0.995 m/s
This is the velocity with which the bullet and the target moves after hitting.

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?
