An oscillator of mass is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential, . A particle of mass comes from the right with speed and collides completely inelastic with and sticks to it. This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position. The amplitude of oscillations after collisions is: \left(M = 10, m = 5, u = 1, k = 1\right)

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
In the first collision& momentum will be imparted to the system. In the second collision when the momentum of is in the opposite direction mu momentum of the particle will make its momentum zero. On collision,~
Applying momentum conservation
