JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 5. work,energy,power and collision

A body of mass \(1\,kg\) falls freely from a height of \(100\,m,\) on a platform of mass \(3\,kg\) which is mounted on a spring having spring constant \(k = 1.25 \times 10^6\, N/m.\) The body sticks to the platform and the spring’s maximum compression is found to be \(x.\) Given that \(g = 10\,ms^{-2},\) the value of \(x\) will be close to ................ \(\mathrm{cm}\)

  1. A \(40\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(80\)
  4. D \(2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{l} v = \sqrt {2 \times 10} \times 100\\ \,\,\,\, = 20\sqrt 5 \\ COLM \to \,{v_p} = \frac{{1 \times 20\sqrt 5 }}{4}\\ COTME \to \\ \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times {\left( {5\sqrt 5 } \right)^2} + \frac{1}{2}1.25 \times {10^6}{\left( {\frac{{30}}{k}} \right)^2}…
