Q87 / 90 · JEE Main 2012 (12 May Online) · Physics
A spring is compressed between two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ placed on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure. When the blocks are released, they have initial velocity of $v_1$ and $v_2$ as shown. The blocks travel distances $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively before coming to rest. The ratio $\left(\frac{x_1}{x_2}\right)$ is


- Correct answerA$\frac{m_2}{m_1}$
- B$\frac{m_1}{m_2}$
- C$\sqrt{\frac{m_2}{m_1}}$
- D$\sqrt{\frac{m_1}{m_2}}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
