  • A
    Due to the change in apparent weight.
  • B
    Due to constant velocity.
  • C
    Due to the absence of gravity.

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the 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 $B$,when the block is compressing the spring:

$A$ plank is moving in a horizontal direction with a constant acceleration $a \hat{i}$. $A$ uniform rough cubical block of side $l$ rests on the plank and is at rest relative to the plank. Let the centre of mass of the block be at $(0, l/2)$ at a given instant. If $a = g/10$,then the normal reaction exerted by the plank on the block at that instant acts at

$A$ car is moving with a uniform speed on a level road. Inside the car,there is a balloon filled with helium and attached to a piece of string tied to the floor.
