The figure below is the TOP-VIEW of two equal masses 'm' that can slide over frictionless rails on a horizontal floor. The rails are separated by distance as shown. The masses are connected with a massless spring of natural length and spring constant K. At the initial moment of time the masses are at rest.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

Initial spring length, so extension. At natural length, energy:; relative velocity - (A) true.; each mass has speed - (C) true. Answer: (A), (C)
