$A$ block of mass $m$ moving at a speed $v$ compresses a spring through a distance $x$ before its speed becomes one fourth. Find the spring constant of the spring.

  • A
    $\frac{3mv^2}{4x^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{7mv^2}{8x^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{15mv^2}{16x^2}$
  • D

$A$ body of mass $0.15 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $15 \ ms^{-1}$ comes to rest when it hits a spring that is fixed at the other end. If the force constant of the spring is $1500 \ Nm^{-1}$,then the compression in the spring is: (in $m$)

$A$ 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
