In the figure,the ball $A$ is released from rest when the spring is at its natural (unstretched) length. For the block $B$ of mass $M$ to leave contact with the ground at some stage,the minimum mass of $A$ must be

  • A
    $2M$
  • B
    $M$
  • C
    $M/2$
  • D
    $A$ function of $M$ and the force constant of the spring

Fill in the blank: $A$ spring is stretched by $3 \, cm$,its potential energy is $U_1$. If the spring is stretched by $6 \, cm$,its potential energy stored in it is $U_2 = ...... U_1$.

$A$ block of mass $m$ initially at rest is dropped from a height $h$ onto a spring of force constant $k$. If the maximum compression in the spring is $x$,then:

$A$ block of mass $m$ is pushed against a spring with spring constant $k$ which is attached to a wall. The block slides on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. The natural length of the spring is $\ell_0$ and it is compressed to half of its natural length when the block is released. What will be the final velocity of the block?

$A$ smooth track extends to a horizontal part as shown in the figure. $A$ spring with a force constant of $400 \ N/m$ is firmly attached to one end of this horizontal part. $A$ mass of $40 \ g$ is released from a height of $4.9 \ m$. Calculate the compression in the spring in $cm$.

$A$ massless spring of force constant $K$ is placed between two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ on a frictionless table and compressed by an amount $x$. Upon releasing the spring,both blocks move in opposite directions. The blocks lose contact with the spring when it reaches its natural length. The speed of the block of mass $M$ at the moment of separation is:
