Two blocks $A(5kg)$ and  $B(2kg)$ attached to the ends of a spring constant $1120N/m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal plane with the spring undeformed. Simultaneously velocities of $3m/s$ and $10m/s$ along the line of the spring in the same direction are imparted to $A$ and $B$ then

  • A

    when the extension of the spring is maximum the velocities of $A$ and $B$ are zero.

  • B

    the maximum extension of the spring is $25cm.$

  • C

    maximum extension and maximum compression occur alternately.

  • D

    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on $a$ wedge of mass $M$ as shown, which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless . The spring attached to the other end of wedge has force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down, then  Maximum retardation of $M$ is:

Two similar springs $P$ and $Q$ have spring constants $K_P$ and $K_Q$, such that $K_P > K_Q .$ They are stretched first by the same amount (case $a$), then by the same force (case $b$). The work done by the springs $W_P$ and $W_Q$ are related as, in case $(a)$ and case $(b)$ respectively
