Two blocks $A(5kg)$ and  $B(2kg)$ attached to the ends of a spring constant $1120N/m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal plane with the spring undeformed. Simultaneously velocities of $3m/s$ and $10m/s$ along the line of the spring in the same direction are imparted to $A$ and $B$ then

Two particles with mass $m_1$ = $16\ kg$ and $m_2$ = $2\ kg$ slide as unit with a common velocity of $12\ ms^{-1}$ on a level frictionless surface. Between them is a compressed massless spring with spring constant $k$ = $100\ Nm^{-1}$ . The spring, originally compressed by $25\ cm$ , is suddenly released, sending the two masses, which are connected to the spring, flying apart from each other. The orientation of the spring w.r.t. the initial velocity is shown in diagram. What is the relative velocity of separation in $ms^{-1}$ , after the particles lose contact? ................$m/s$

A massless platform is kept on a light elastic spring as shown in fig. When a sand particle of mass $0.1\; kg$ is dropped on the pan from a height of $0.24 \;m$, the particle strikes the pan and spring is compressed by $0.01\; m$.

From what height should the particle be dropped to cause a compression of $0.04\; m$.

A block of mass $m$ slides from rest at a height $H$ on a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. It travels a distance $d$ across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$ by a distance $x$ before coming to rest momentarily. Then the spring extends and the block travels back attaining a final height of $h$. Then,
