$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ till 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 spring force is
