Two block of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected with the help of a spring of spring constant $k$ initially to natural length as shown. A sharp impulse is given to mass $m_2$ so that it acquires a velocity $v_0$ towards right. If the system is kept an smooth floor then find the maximum elongation that the spring will suffer

    ${v_0}\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{k({m_1} + {m_2})}}} $

  • B

    ${v_0}\sqrt {\frac{{({m_1} + {m_2})}}{{k{m_1}{m_2}}}} $

  • C

    ${v_0}\sqrt {\frac{{2{m_1}{m_2}}}{{k({m_1} + {m_2})}}} $

  • D

    $2{v_0}\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{k({m_1} + {m_2})}}} $

A block of mass $\sqrt{2}\,kg$ is released from the top of an inclined smooth surface as shown in figure. If spring constant of spring is $100\,N / m$ and block comes to rest after compressing the spring by $1 \,m$, then the distance travelled by block before it comes to rest is ......... $m$

Whether the spring force is conservative or non-conservative ?

$A$ ball of mass $m$ is attached to the lower end of light vertical spring of force constant $k$. The upper end of the spring is fixed. The ball is released from rest with the spring at its normal (unstretched) length, comes to rest again after descending through a distance $x.$

Two springs have their force constant as $k_1$ and $k_2 (k_1 > k_2)$. when they are  stretched by the same force

A spring of force constant $800\, N/m$ has an extension of $5\,cm$. The work done in extending it from $ 5\,cm$ to $15 \,cm$ is ............. $\mathrm{J}$
