$A$ block of mass $m=25 \ kg$ sliding on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity $v=3 \ ms^{-1}$ meets a spring of spring constant $k=100 \ N/m$ fixed at one end as shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring and the velocity of the block as it returns to the original position are, respectively:

  • A
    $1.5 \ m, -3 \ ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $1.5 \ m, 0.01 \ ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $1.0 \ m, 3 \ ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $0.5 \ m, 2 \ ms^{-1}$
