A \(0.5 \,kg\) block moving at a speed of \(12 \,ms ^{-1}\) compresses a spring through a distance \(30\, cm\) when its speed is halved. The spring constant of the spring will be \(Nm ^{-1}\).

  1. A \(680\)
  2. B \(700\)
  3. C \(608\)
  4. D \(600\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(600\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(U _{ i }+ K _{ i }= U _{ f }+ K _{ f }\) \(\Rightarrow 0+\frac{1}{2} m (12)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} K (0.3)^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m (6)^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow 0.5\left(12^{2}-6^{2}\right)= K (0.3)^{2}\) \(K =600 \,N / m\)
