Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ moves with velocity $V_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$ as shown in the figure. At a certain instant of time $t_0$ after the collision,it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same. Further,at this instant,the compression of the spring is found to be $x_0$. Determine the spring constant $k$.

$A$ particle of unit mass is moving along the $x$-axis under the influence of a force and its total energy is conserved. Four possible forms of the potential energy of the particle are given in column $I$ ($a$ and $U_0$ are constants). Match the potential energies in column $I$ to the corresponding statement$(s)$ in column $II$.
Column $I$ Column $II$
$(A) U_1(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left[1 - \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2\right]^2$ $(P)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = a$.
$(B) U_2(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2$ $(Q)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = 0$.
$(C) U_3(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2 \exp \left[-\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2\right]$ $(R)$ The force acting on the particle is zero at $x = -a$.
$(D) U_4(x) = \frac{U_0}{2} \left[\frac{x}{a} - \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^3\right]$ $(S)$ The particle experiences an attractive force towards $x = 0$ in the region $|x| < a$.
  $(T)$ The particle with total energy $\frac{U_0}{4}$ can oscillate about the point $x = -a$.
