प्रश्न
A girl riding a bicycle along a straight road with a speed of 5 ms–1 throws a stone of mass 0.5 kg which has a speed of 15 ms–1 with respect to the ground along her direction of motion. The mass of the girl and bicycle is 50 kg. Does the speed of the bicycle change after the stone is thrown? What is the change in speed, if so?

उत्तर
Given, the total mass of girl, bicycle and stone = m1 = (50 + 0.5) kg = 50.5 kg.
Velocity of bicycle u1 = 5 m/s, Mass of stone m2 = 0.5 kg
Velocity of stone u2 = 15 m/s, Mass of girl and bicycle m = 50 kg
Yes, the speed of the bicycle changes after the stone is thrown.
Let after throwing the stone the speed of bicycle is v ms.
According to the law of conservation of linear momentum,
m1u1 = m2u2 + mv
50.5 × 5 = 0.5 × 15 + 50 × v
252.5 – 7.5 = 50 v
or v = `245.0/50`
v = 4.9/m/s
Change in speed = 5 – 4.9 = 0.1 m/s.
