Two blocks A and B each of massm are connected by a massless spring of natural length L and spring constant K. The blocks are initially resting on a smooth horizontal floor with the spring at its natural length, as shown in figure below. A third identical bloack C, also of mass m, moves on the floor with a speed v along the line joining A and B, and collides with A. Then :

Answer»

the KINETIC energy of the A-B SYSTEM, at maximum compression of the spring, is ZERO
the kinetic energy of the A-B system, at maximum compression of the spring, is`mv^(2)//4`
the maximum compression of the spring is `V sqrt(m//K)`
the maximum compression of the spring is `v sqrt(m//2K)`.
