Assertion: Two blocks A and B are connected at the two ends of an ideal spring as shown in figure. Initially, spring was released. Now block B is pressed. Linear momentum of the system will not remain constant till the spring reaches its initial natural length.

Reason: An external force will act from the wall on block A.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Linear momentum will not remain constant till spring will remain compressed. Therefore a force will act on block A from the wall.

Two blocks having masses 8kg and 16kg are connected to the two ends of a light spring. The system is placed on a smooth horizontal floor. An inextensible string also connects B with ceiling as shown in the figure at the initial moment. Initially the spring has its natural length. A constant horizontal force F is applied to the heavier block as shown. What is the maximum possible value of F so the lighter block doesn't loose contact with ground?

    In the situations shown in the figure surfaces are frictionless. Find the maximum extension of the springs if blocks are initially at rest and springs are initially in natural lengths.

    Two blocks A and B of masses in and 2m , respectively, are connected with the help of a spring having spring constant, k as shown in Fig. Initially, both the blocks arc moving with same velocity v on a smooth horizontal plane with the spring in its natural length. During their course of motion, block B makes an inelastic collision with block C of mass m which is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution for the collision is 1//2 . The maximum compression in the spring is

    According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, if the external force acting on the system is zero, the linear momentum of the system will remain conserved. It means if the centre of mass of a system is initially at rest, it will remain, at rest in the absence of external force, that is, the displacement of centre of mass will be zero. Two blocks of masses 'm' and '2m' are placed as shown in Fig. There is no friction anywhere. A spring of force constant k is attached to the bigger block. Mass 'm' is kept in touch with the spring but not attached to it. 'A' and 'B' are two supports attached to '2m' . Now m is moved towards left so that spring is compressed by distance 'x' and then the system is released from rest. Find the relative velocity of the blocks after 'm' leaves contact with the spring.

    Two blocks A and B of mass m and 2m are connected together by a light spring of stiffness k . The system is lying on a smooth horizontal surface with block A in contact with a fixed vertical wall as shown in the figure. The block B is pressed towards the wall by a distance x_0 and then released. There is not friction anywhere. If spring takes time Deltat to aquire its natural length then average force on the block A by the wall is
