JEE Main 2020Oscillations Question with Solution

JEE Main 2020 (03 Sep Shift 2)

Question

A block of mass m attached to a massless spring is performing oscillatory motion of amplitude 'A' on a frictionless horizontal plane. If half of the mass of the block breaks off when it is passing through its equilibrium point, the amplitude of oscillation for the remaining system become ƒA. The value of ƒ is:

Correct answer
D2

Step-by-step explanation

Using mometum conservation 

m1v1=m2v2mAω=m2A2ω2mAkm=m2A2km/2A2=2Af=2
