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 masses m and 3m on a horizontal surface are in contact with the ends of a horizontal massless spring. The coefficient of friction between m and surface and between 3m and surface is mu and mu//3 respectively. The two blocks are moved towards each other to compress the spring and then released. The two blocks move off in opposite directions covering distances S_1 and S_2 before comming to rest. S_1 : S_2 is

Two identical blocks A and B are connected with a spring of constant k as shown in ligure. If block B s moving rightward with speed V_0 maximum extension of spring is

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

Two blocks of masses 7 kg and 3 kg are connected by a spring of stiffness 1000Nm^(-1) and placed on a smooth horizontal surface. They are acted by horizontal forces of 72 N and 32 N in opposite directions as shown in the figure. When accelerations of the blocks are equal and constant, the extension of the spring is

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?
