$A$ block $A$ of mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ collides elastically with block $B$ of mass $m$ which is connected to block $C$ of mass $m$ with a spring. When the compression in the spring is maximum,the velocity of block $C$ with respect to block $A$ is (neglect friction):

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $\frac{M}{M+m}u$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m}{M+m}\right)u$
  • D
    $\frac{m}{M}u$

On a frictionless surface,a block of mass $M$ moving at speed $V$ collides elastically with another block of same mass $M$ which is initially at rest. After collision,the first block moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has a speed $\frac{V}{3}$. The second block's speed after the collision is:
