Two blocks A and B of masses 3kg and 6kg are connected by a...
Two blocks and of masses and are connected by a massless spring of force constant and then they are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. The blocks are pulled apart to stretch the spring by and then released. What is the the relative velocity (in ) of the blocks when the spring comes to its natural length?
Correct answer
1.5
Step-by-step solution
Let is reduced mass of the two blocks, then
Let be the relative velocity of the two blocks, then from conservation of mechanical energy we get
