A container of mass $m$ is pulled  by a constant force in which a second block of same mass $m$ is placed connected to the wall by a mass-less spring of constant $k$ . Initially the spring is in its natural length. Velocity of the container at the instant when compression in spring is maximum for the first time

A $15\, g$ ball is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant of $600\, N\, m$. The spring is compressed by $3\, cm$. The greatest possible velocity of the ball for this compression is ............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$   $(g = 10\, m/s^2$)

Two ice skaters $A$ and $B$ approach each other at right angles. Skater $A$ has a mass $30\,kg$ and velocity $1\,m/s$ and skater $B$ has a mass $20\,kg$ and velocity $2\,m/s$ . They meet and cling together. Their final velocity of the couple is ............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$

A basket and its contents have mass $M$. A monkey of mass $2M$ grabs the other end of the rope and very quickly (almost instantaneously) accelerates by pulling hard on the rope until he is moving with a constant speed of $v_{m/r} = 2ft/s$ measured relative to the rope. The monkey then continues climbing at this constant rate relative to the rope for $3$ seconds. How fast is the basket rising at the end of the $3$ seconds? Neglect the mass of the pulley and the rope. (given : $g = 32ft/s^2$)
