Q: An oscillator of mass $M$ is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V\, = \,\frac{1}{2}\,k{(x - X)^2}.$ A particle of mass $m$ comes from right with speed $u$ and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it . This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position .The amplitude of oscillations after $13$ collisions is: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$

b In first collision $mu$ momentum will be imparted to system, in second collision when momentum of $(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m})$ is in opposite direction $mu$ momentum of particle will make its momentum zero. On $13^{\text {th }}$ collision, $\mathrm{m} \rightarrow {\mathrm{M}+12} ; \quad \mathrm{M}+13 \mathrm{m} \rightarrow \mathrm{V}$ $\mathrm{mu}=(\mathrm{M}+13 \mathrm{m}) \mathrm{v} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{mu}}{\mathrm{M}+13 \mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{u}}{15}$ $v=\omega A \Rightarrow \frac{u}{15}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{M-13 m}} \times A$ Putting value of $M, m, u$ and $K$ we get amplitude $A=\frac{1}{15} \sqrt{\frac{75}{1}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Column $I$ describe some situations in which a small object moves. Column $II$ describes some characteristics of these motions. Match the situation in Column $I$ with the characteristics in Column $II$ and indicate your answer by darkening appropriate bubbles in the $4 \times 4$ matrix given in the $ORS$.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$(A)$ The object moves on the $\mathrm{x}$-axis under a conservative force in such a way that its "speed" and "position" satisfy $v=c_1 \sqrt{c_2-x^2}$, where $\mathrm{c}_1$ and $\mathrm{c}_2$ are positive constants.	$(p)$ The object executes a simple harmonic motion.
$(B)$ The object moves on the $\mathrm{x}$-axis in such a way that its velocity and its displacement from the origin satisfy $\mathrm{v}=-\mathrm{kx}$, where $\mathrm{k}$ is a positive constant.	$(q)$ The object does not change its direction.
$(C)$ The object is attached to one end of a massless spring of a given spring constant. The other end of the spring is attached to the ceiling of an elevator. Initially everything is at rest. The elevator starts going upwards with a constant acceleration a. The motion of the object is observed from the elevator during the period it maintains this acceleration.	$(r)$ The kinetic energy of the object keeps on decreasing.
$(D)$ The object is projected from the earth's surface vertically upwards with a speed $2 \sqrt{\mathrm{GM}_e / R_e}$, where, $M_e$ is the mass of the earth and $R_e$ is the radius of the earth. Neglect forces from objects other than the earth.	$(s)$ The object can change its direction only once.
