Physics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 3 April, Shift 2

Two blocks A and B on a frictionless horizontal table, with A of 10 kg moving right at 3 m/s toward B of 5 kg, and a spring of constant 3000 N/m attached between them.

Consider two blocks A and B of masses m1=10m_1 = 10 kg and m2=5m_2 = 5 kg that are placed on a frictionless table. The block A moves with a constant speed v=3v = 3 m/s towards the block B kept at rest. A spring with spring constant k=3000k = 3000 N/m is attached with the block B as shown in the figure. After the collision, suppose that the blocks A and B, along with the spring in constant compression state, move together, then the compression in the spring is, (Neglect the mass of the spring)

  • A

    0.2 m

  • B

    0.4 m

  • C

    0.1 m

  • D

    0.3 m
