Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,resting on a smooth floor,are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is:

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

$A$ wedge of mass $M = 4m$ lies on a frictionless plane. $A$ particle of mass $m$ approaches the wedge with speed $v$. There is no friction between the particle and the plane or between the particle and the wedge. The maximum height climbed by the particle on the wedge is given by

$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?

$A$ machine which is $75\%$ efficient, uses $12 \, J$ of energy in lifting up a $1 \, kg$ mass through a certain distance. The mass is then allowed to fall through that distance. The velocity at the end of its fall is (in $m \, s^{-1}$):

Block $A$ of mass $m$ is hanging from a vertical spring of spring constant $k$ and is at rest. Block $B$ of mass $m$ strikes block $A$ with velocity $v$ and sticks to it. The velocity $v$ for which the spring just attains its natural length is:
