A system consists of two blocks of masses m and 2m attached


A system consists of two blocks, of masses m and 2m, attached to the ends of a mass less spring with a force constant k. The system is placed on a horizontal friction-less surface. Initially, the spring is relaxed. The blocks are then pulled apart an "extra" distance x and simultaneously released from the state of rest.

When the spring is relaxed again, what statement about the blocks' instantaneous speeds is correct?

Block m has a greater speed

Block 2m has a greater speed

Both blocks have zero speed

Both blocks have equal non-zero speed
