Answer Key : (a) -

(a)

Initial momentum of the system (block

After striking with , the block  comes to rest and now both block  and  moves with velocity , when compression in spring is maximum

By the law of conservation of linear momentum

By the law of conservation of energy

K.E. of block  K.E. of system + P.E. of system

 



Next Question :

When a spring is stretched by , it stores  of energy. If it is stretched further by , the stored energy will be increased by

a)

b)

c)

d)
