Two trolleys of mass 
and 
are connected by a spring. They were compressed and released once, they move off in opposite direction and comes to rest after covering distances 
and 
respectively. Assuming the coefficient of friction to be uniform, the ratio of distances 
is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
When trolley are released then they posses same linear momentum but in opposite direction. Kinetic energy acquired by any trolley will dissipate against friction.
