Answer Key : (b) -

(b)

i. If velocity of block  is zero, from conservation of momentum, speed of block  is  Then KE of block  is greater than net mechanical energy of the system. Since this is not possible, velocity of  can never be zero

ii. Since initial velocity of  is zero, it shall be zero for many other instants of time

iii. Since momentum of system is non–zero, KE of system cannot be zero. Also KE of system is minimum at maximum extension of the spring

iv. The potential energy of spring shall be zero whenever it comes to natural length. Also PE of spring is maximum at maximum extension of the spring
