The potential energy of a long spring when stretched by $2\,cm$ is $U$. If the spring is stretched by $8\,cm$, potential energy stored in it will be $.......\,U$

A spring $40 \,mm$ long is stretched by the application of a force. If $10 \,N$ force required to stretch the spring through $1 \,mm$, then work done in stretching the spring through $40\, mm$ is ............. $\mathrm{J}$

Two masses $m_1 = 2\,kg$ and $m_2 = 5\,kg$ are moving on a frictionless surface with velocities $10\,m/s$ and $3\,m/s$ respectively. An ideal spring is attached on the back of $m_2$ . The maximum compression of the spring will be ............... $\mathrm{m}$

Pulley and spring are massless and the friction is absent everwhere. $5\, kg$ block is  released from rest. The speed of $5\, kg$ block when $2\, kg$ block leaves the contact  with ground is (take force constant of the spring $K = 40\, N/m$ and $g = 10\, m/s^2)$

Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$, each of mass $'m'$  resting on smooth floor are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$, with the spring at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $'C'$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. the maximum compression in the spring is

$A$ 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
