A body executes simple harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $(4/5)\, sec$. If the force is changed to $F_2$ it executes $SHM$ with time period $(3/5)\, sec$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body, its time period (in $seconds$ ) is

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 $u_0$.

$(B)$ the time at which the particle passes through the equilibrium position for the first time is $t=\pi \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

$(C)$ the time at which the maximum compression of the spring occurs is $t =\frac{4 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

$(D)$ the time at which the particle passes througout the equilibrium position for the second time is $t=\frac{5 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.
