$A$ ball of mass $m = 60 \text{ g}$ is shot with speed $v_0 = 22 \text{ m/s}$ into the barrel of a spring gun of mass $M = 240 \text{ g}$ initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is now stored in the spring?

Four particles $A, B, C$ and $D$ of equal mass $m$ are placed at four corners of a square. They move with equal uniform speed $v$ towards the intersection of the diagonals. After collision,$A$ comes to rest,$B$ traces its path back with the same speed $v$,and $C$ and $D$ move with equal speeds $v'$. What is the velocity of $C$ after collision?
