31. Two objects, A and B, initially at rest, are "exploded" apart by the release of a coiled spring that was compressed between them. As they move apart, the velocity of object A is 5 m/s5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} and the velocity of object B is −2 m/s-2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. The ratio of the mass of object AA to the mass object B,ma/mbB, m_{a} / m_{b} is (A) 4/254 / 25 (B) 2/52 / 5 (C) 5/25 / 2 (D) 25/425 / 4 ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/9f5183c8226b/2025_11_20_dc5dcf85afe139c325e0g-05.jpg)
