Q: A block attached with a spring is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. Now, the block and free end A are project with same speed v0 in opposite directions along the surface as shown in figure . The maximum elongation is

Numerical

(a) $\sqrt{\frac{2 m}{k} v_0}$

(b) $\sqrt{\frac{4 m}{k} v_0}$

(c) $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} v_0}$

(d) None of these

Ans: (b)
Ans: In the frame of point A ,Initial speed of the block = 2 v0

At the time of maximum elongation block comes to rest in the frame of point A

Now Applying Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m (2 v_0)^2 = \frac{1}{2} k x_{max}^2 $

$\displaystyle x_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{4 m}{k} v_0}$
