  • Two blocks A and B of the same mass are connected to a light spring and placed on a smooth horizontal surface B is given velocity v_(0) (as shown in the figure) when the spring is in natural length. In the subsequent motion.

    A
    the maximum velocity of B will be `v_(0)`
    B
    as seen from ground, A can move towards right only
    C
    the spring will have maximum extension when A and B both stop
    D
    the spring will be at natural length again when B is at rest
