$A$ 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 masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Choose the correct statement$(s)$ related to particle $m$.

Is the statement "The work done by object $B$ on object $A$ is equal and opposite to the work done by object $A$ on object $B$" correct?

$A$ ball falls freely from a height of $180 \,m$ onto a hard horizontal floor and repeatedly bounces. If the coefficient of restitution is $0.5$, the average speed and average velocity of the ball before it ceases to rebound are respectively (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)
