A block A of mass M moving with speed u collides elastically with block B of mass m which is connected to block C of mass m with a spring.

When the compression in spring is maximum, the velocity of block C with respect to block A is
(Neglect the friction everywhere)

a
zero
b
MM+mu
c
mM+mu
d
mMu

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Here, vA=M-mM+mu and vB=2MuM+mVelocity of C at maximum compression, vc = vB/2∴       vC=122MM+mu=MM+mu∴       vCA=vC-vA=mM+mu
