This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively,are stretched by the same force,it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.
Statement $1$: If stretched by the same amount,the work done on $S_1$ is more than on $S_2$.
Statement $2$: $k_1 < k_2$.

  • A
    Statement $1$ is true,Statement $2$ is true,Statement $2$ is not the correct explanation for Statement $1$
  • B
    Statement $1$ is false,Statement $2$ is true
  • C

To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a smooth road and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?
