A mass of 0.98 kg attached to a spring of constant K = 100 Nm-1 is hit by a bullet of 20 gm moving with a velocity 30 ms-1 horizontally. The bullet gets embedded and the system oscillates with the mass on horizontal friction less surface. The amplitude of oscillations will be

a
0.6 cm
b
6 cm
c
1.2 cm
d
12 cm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Conservation of momentum(0.98+0.02)v = 0.02× 30 ⇒ v = 0.6 ms-1Conserving energy in oscillation we get12(0.98+0.02)v2= 12KA2∴  A2 = v2K= (0.6)2100   ⇒A = 0.610 = 0.06 m = 6 cm
