  • B
    $\frac{7mv^2}{8x^2}$
  • C

$A$ block of mass $m=25 \ kg$ sliding on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity $v=3 \ ms^{-1}$ meets a spring of spring constant $k=100 \ N/m$ fixed at one end as shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring and the velocity of the block as it returns to the original position are, respectively:
