Question : 14
Total: 54
A block with mass M is connected by a massless spring with stiffness constant k to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude A about an equilibrium position
x
0
.Consider two cases : (i) when the block is at
x
0
; and (ii) when the block is at
x
=
x
0
+
A
. In both the cases, a particle with mass m( < M) is softly placed on the block after which they stick to each other. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true about the motion after the mass m is placed on the mass M?
The amplitude of oscillation in the first case changes by a factor of
√
M
m
+
M
, whereas in thesecond case it remains unchanged
The final time period of oscillation in both the cases is same
The total energy decreases in both the cases
The instantaneous speed at
x
0
of the combined masses decreases in both the cases.

Case (i):
M
(
A
ω
)
=
(
M
+
m
)
V
∴ Velocity decreases at equilibrium position
By energy conservation
A
f
=

m
Case (ii):No energy loss, amplitude remains same
At equilibrium
(
x
0
)
velocity
=
A
ω
.
In both cases
ω
decreases so velocity decreases in both cases
