$A$ and $B$ are blocks of same mass $m$ exactly equivalent to each other. Both are placed on a frictionless surface connected by a spring. The natural length of the spring is $L$ and the force constant is $K$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Another equivalent block $C$ of mass $m$ travelling at speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. In an ideal condition,the maximum compression of the spring is:

  • A
    $v \sqrt{\frac{m}{2K}}$
  • B
    $m \sqrt{\frac{v}{2K}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{mv}{K}}$
  • D
    $\frac{mv}{2K}$

Three objects $A, B$,and $C$ are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Their masses are $m, 2m$,and $m$ respectively. Object $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and undergoes an elastic collision with it. Subsequently,$B$ undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with $C$. All motion occurs along the same straight line. What will be the final speed of object $C$ in $m/s$?

As shown in the figure,a block of mass $2 \ kg$ is released from point $P$. It slides $0.5 \ m$ on the inclined plane before hitting a spring. The spring constant is $4000 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is $0.3$. The compression in the spring will be ............... $mm$.

$A$ ball of mass $m_1$ falls from height $h_1$ from rest to strike a spring of force constant $K$,which forces another ball of mass $m_2$ to jump on a horizontal floor at a height $h_2$ below it. Find the horizontal distance at which the ball of mass $m_2$ strikes the floor from the position of the start. [Assume the spring is fixed and the collision is elastic].
