$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on $a$ wedge of mass $M$ as shown, which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless . The spring attached to the other end of wedge has force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down, then 

A spring with spring constant $k $  is extended from $x = 0$to$x = {x_1}$. The work done will be

The figure shows a mass $m$ on a frictionless surface. It is connected to rigid wall by the mean of a massless spring of its constant $k$. Initially, the spring is at its natural position. If a force of constant magnitude starts acting on the block towards right, then the speed of the block when the deformation in spring is $x,$ will be

$A$ 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

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 $.......\,U$
