Simple harmonic motion
- Advanced 2013PhysicsMultiple correct
A particle of mass is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant , lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time with an initial velocity . When the speed of the particle is , it collides elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision,

A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length 4.9 m. The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by 0.2 m and released from rest at . It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency rad/s. Simultaneously at , a small pebble is projected with speed from point at an angle of 45° as shown in the figure. Point is at a horizontal distance of 10 m from . If the pebble hits the block at s, the value of is (take )
