A block of mass `4 kg` slides on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of `2m//s`. It is brought to rest in compressing a spring in its path. If the force constant of the spring is `400 N//m`, by how much the spring will be compressed

A

`2X10^(-2) m`

B

`0.2 m`

C

`20m`

D

`200m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(2)`
`K.E` of block is converted into elastic P.E in spring i.e `1/2 mv^(2) = 1/2 kx^(2)`
