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
    $\frac{mv}{2K}$

The rate of doing work by a force acting on a particle moving along the $x$-axis depends on the position $x$ of the particle and is equal to $2x$. The velocity of the particle is given by the expression:

$A$ ball is falling freely from a height. When it reaches $10 ~m$ height from the ground, its velocity is $v_0$. It collides with the ground, loses $50 \%$ of its energy, and rises back to a height of $10 ~m$. Then the velocity $v_0$ is (in $~m / s$)

In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically with a velocity $v_0$. It simultaneously hits the two balls. The smaller ball (top ball) does not stop after the collision but continues to move downwards with a speed $v_0/2$. Find the speed of each bigger ball after the collision.

$A$ block $C$ of mass $m$ is moving with velocity $v_0$ and collides elastically with block $A$ of mass $m$ which is connected to another block $B$ of mass $2m$ through a spring of spring constant $k$. What is $k$ if $x_0$ is the compression of the spring when the velocity of $A$ and $B$ is the same?
