  • question_answer
    The block of mass \[M\] moving on a frictionless   horizontal   surface collides with a spring of spring constant \[k\] and compresses it by length \[L\]. The maximum momentum of the block after collision is

    A) \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{k}\]       

    B) zero

    C) \[\frac{k{{L}^{2}}}{2M}\]                 

    D) \[\sqrt{Mk}L\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] When block of mass M collides with the spring , its kinetic energy gets converted into elastic potential energy of the spring. From the law of conservation of energy, \[\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}K{{L}^{2}}\]\[\therefore v=\sqrt{\frac{k}{M}L}\] Where v is the velocity of block by which it collides with spring. So, its maximum momentum. \[P=Mv=M\sqrt{\frac{k}{M}}L=\sqrt{MK}L\] After collision, the block will rebound with same linear momentum.
