$A$ girl riding a bicycle along a straight road with a speed of $5 \, m/s$ throws a stone of mass $0.5 \, kg$ which has a speed of $15 \, m/s$ 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?

$A$ bomb is projected with $200\,m/s$ at an angle $60^o$ with the horizontal. At the highest point,it explodes into three particles of equal masses. One goes vertically upward with a velocity of $100\,m/s$,and the second particle goes vertically downward with the same velocity as the first. What is the velocity of the third particle?

$A$ ball of mass $m$ strikes the inclined face of the wedge of mass $M$ normally with speed $v_0$. The wedge is at rest on a rough horizontal surface before the collision. The conservation of momentum is applicable for the event of collision for:
$(i)$ $m$ as system,along $Y'$
$(ii)$ $M$ as system,along $Y'$
$(iii)$ $(M + m)$ as system,along $X$
$(iv)$ $(M + m)$ as system,along $Y$

$A$ ball of mass $10 \, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \, m/s$ along the $X$-axis,hits another ball of mass $20 \, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision,the first ball comes to rest and the second one disintegrates into two equal pieces. One of the pieces starts moving along the $Y$-axis at a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The second piece starts moving at a speed of $20 \, m/s$ at an angle $\theta$ (in degrees) with respect to the $X$-axis. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of $\theta$ to the nearest integer is:

$A$ ball of mass $m = 60 \text{ g}$ is shot with speed $v_0 = 22 \text{ m/s}$ into the barrel of a spring gun of mass $M = 240 \text{ g}$,which is initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. The speed of the spring gun after the ball stops relative to the barrel is:
