    A block of mass m, attached to a spring of spring constant k, oscillates on a smooth horizontal table. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. If it has a speed v when the spring is at its natural length, how far will it move on the table before coming to an instantaneous rest

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{\upsilon m}{k}}\] 

    B)         \[\sqrt{\frac{\upsilon k}{m}}\]

    C)  \[u\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\]

    D)         \[u\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Natural length means at mean position. In this position kinetic energy is maximum. At extreme position, it gets converted entirely into elastic potential energy. \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}\]or  \[x=\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}v\]
