$A$ 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
    $\frac{mv}{2K}$

An engine is attached to a wagon through a shock absorber of length $1.5\, \text{m}$. The system with a total mass of $40,000\, \text{kg}$ is moving with a speed of $72\, \text{km/h}$ when the brakes are applied to bring it to rest. In the process of the system being brought to rest,the spring of the shock absorber gets compressed by $1.0\, \text{m}$. If $90\, \%$ of the energy of the wagon is lost due to friction,the spring constant is $....\, \times 10^{5}\, \text{N/m}$.

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3:1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Find the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision.

$A$ ball is falling freely from a height. When it reaches $10 ~m$ height from the ground, its velocity is $v_0$. It collides with the ground, loses $50 \%$ of its energy, and rises back to a height of $10 ~m$. Then the velocity $v_0$ is (in $~m / s$)

$A$ small disc of mass $m = 1 \,g$ slides down a smooth hill of height $h = 10 \,cm$ from rest and gets onto a plank of mass $M = 100 \,g$ as shown in the figure. Due to friction between the disc and the plank, the disc slows down and moves as one piece with the plank. The work done by the frictional force is approximately (Use $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,J$)

$A$ $2 \ kg$ block slides on a horizontal surface at a speed of $4 \ m/s$ and strikes an uncompressed spring. The kinetic friction force is $15 \ N$ and the spring constant is $10,000 \ N/m$. By how many $cm$ will the spring be compressed?
