- B 4 cm
- C 40 cm
- D 80 cm
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
velocity of 1 kg block just before it collides with 3kg block
= m/s
Applying momentum conversation just before and just after collision.
1 = 4v v = m/s
initial compression of spring
1.25 106 x0 = 30 x0 0
applying work energy theorem,
Wg + Wsp = KE
40 x + 1.25 106 (02 x2)
= 0 4 v2
solving x 4 cm
