Two bodies of masses $m$ and $2m$ are attached to the two ends of an ideal spring. The spring is compressed. The total energy stored in the spring is $60 \ J$. If the spring is released,then:

$A$ $2\,kg$ block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of $4\,m/s$. It strikes an uncompressed spring and compresses it until the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is $110\,N$ and the spring constant is $1000\,N/m$. The spring compresses by ........ $cm$.

$A$ $70\, kg$ man leaps vertically into the air from a crouching position. To take the leap,the man pushes the ground with a constant force $F$ to raise himself. The center of gravity rises by $0.5\, m$ before he leaves the ground. After the leap,the center of gravity rises by another $1\, m$. The maximum power delivered by the muscles is: (Take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

In a collinear collision,a particle with an initial speed $v_0$ strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is $50\%$ greater than the original kinetic energy,the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles,after collision,is:

Consider two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_1 = 10 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 5 \ kg$ that are placed on a frictionless table. The block $A$ moves with a constant speed $v = 3 \ m/s$ towards the block $B$ kept at rest. $A$ spring with spring constant $k = 3000 \ N/m$ is attached to the block $B$ as shown in the figure. After the collision,suppose that the blocks $A$ and $B$,along with the spring in a constant compression state,move together. Then the compression in the spring is (neglect the mass of the spring).
