A particle of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time $t=0$ with an initial velocity $u_0$. When the speed of the particle is $0.5 u_0$, it collies elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision :

$(A)$ the speed of the particle when it returns to its equilibrium position is $u_0$.
