$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
To an observer $A$,the work done by the spring force is

The potential energy of a weightless spring compressed by a distance $a$ is proportional to

$A$ massless platform is kept on a light elastic spring as shown in the figure. When a sand particle of mass $0.1 \; kg$ is dropped on the pan from a height of $0.24 \; m$,the particle strikes the pan and the spring is compressed by $0.01 \; m$. From what height should the particle be dropped to cause a compression of $0.04 \; m$ (in $; m$)?

$A$ mass of $0.5\,kg$ moving with a speed of $1.5\,m/s$ on a horizontal smooth surface,collides with a nearly weightless spring of force constant $k = 50\,N/m$. The maximum compression of the spring would be ............. $m$.

$A$ block of mass $m=25 \ kg$ sliding on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity $v=3 \ ms^{-1}$ meets a spring of spring constant $k=100 \ N/m$ fixed at one end as shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring and the velocity of the block as it returns to the original position are, respectively:
