AIPMT PRELIMS 2012 Physics Conservation of Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A solid cylinder of mass 3 kg is rolling on a horizontal surface with velocity 4 ms⁻¹. It collides with a horizontal spring of force constant 200 Nm⁻¹. The maximum compression produced in the spring will be
A
0.2 m
B
0.5 m
C
0.6 m
D
0.7 m
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The maximum compression in the spring can be calculated using energy conservation. The initial kinetic energy of the cylinder is converted into the potential energy of the spring. Solving the equation gives x = 0.6 m.
