$A$ 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 net work done on the block is

A

$ - mv_0^2$

B

$+mv_0^2$

C

$-\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$

D

zero 

Solution

$ v_{0} \quad \frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}$

$-\frac{1}{2} m v_{0}^{2}$
