$A$ ball of mass $m$ is moving towards a wall with velocity $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to the wall, as shown in the diagram. In which direction is its linear momentum conserved?

$A$ ball of mass $200\,g$ rests on a vertical post of height $20\,m$. $A$ bullet of mass $10\,g$,travelling in a horizontal direction,hits the centre of the ball. After the collision,both travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of $30\,m$ and the bullet at a distance of $120\,m$ from the foot of the post. The value of the initial velocity of the bullet will be $............m/s$ (if $g = 10\,m/s^2$).

$A$ cat with mass $m_c$ is sitting at rest on the left plank of a pair of identical planks. Each plank has mass $m_s$ and they rest on frictionless ice. Suddenly,the cat leaps to the right plank,traveling with a horizontal speed $v_{cg}$ measured with respect to the ground. The instant the cat reaches the right plank,it turns around and leaps back to the left plank. The horizontal component of the cat's speed is again $v_{cg}$ measured with respect to the ground. The final speed of the right plank in terms of the masses of the cat and planks and the cat's leaping speed is (The cat remains on the left plank after its return).

$A$ bomb at rest explodes into three fragments $X, Y$ and $Z$. Each one of them has the same mass. Which of the following correctly describes the motion of the fragments?

State the law of conservation of linear momentum for a system of particles.

An explosion blows a stationary rock into three parts. Two parts of masses $1 \,kg$ and $2 \,kg$ move at right angles to one another with velocities $12 \,ms^{-1}$ and $8 \,ms^{-1}$, respectively. If the velocity of the third part is $4 \,ms^{-1}$, the mass of the rock is (in $\,kg$)
