Two blocks A and B are joined together with a compressed spring. When the system is released, the two bloks appear to be moving with unequal speeds in the opposite directions as shown in figure.
Select incorrect statements(s) :

A

The centre of mass of the system will remain stationary.

B

Mass of block A is equal to mas of block B.

C

The centre of mass of the system will move towards right.

D

It is an impossible physical situation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(BCD)
As net force on system `= 0` (after released)
So centre of mass of the system remains stationary.

Two blocks of unequal masses are tied by a spring. The blocks are pulled stretching the spring slightly and the system is released on a frictionless horizontal platform. Are the forces due to the spring on the two blocks equal and opposite. If yes, is it can example of Newton's third law?

Assertion: Two blocks A and B are connected at the two ends of an ideal spring as shwon in figure. Initially, spring was released. Now block B is pressed. Linear momentum of the system will not remain constan till the spring reaches its initial natural length. Reason: An external force will act from the wall on block A.
