$A$ particle is moving in a circle of radius $r$ under the action of a force $F = \alpha r^2$ which is directed towards the centre of the circle. The total mechanical energy (kinetic energy + potential energy) of the particle is (take potential energy $= 0$ for $r = 0$).

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\alpha r^3$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{6}\alpha r^3$
  • C

$A$ 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
According to observer $B$,the potential energy of the spring increases:

Two identical $5\,kg$ blocks are moving with the same speed of $2\,m/s$ towards each other along a frictionless horizontal surface. The two blocks collide,stick together,and come to rest. Considering the two blocks as a system,the work done on the system by the external forces will be ............. $Joule$.
