$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Choose the correct statement related to the wedge $M$.

$A$ small block of mass $200 \ g$ is placed on a horizontal slab at a height of $2 \ m$ above the floor. The block is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $10.0 \ cm$. Upon releasing,the block moves horizontally until it leaves the spring. Calculate the horizontal distance covered by the block after leaving the slab and just before hitting the ground. The spring constant is $50 \ N \ m^{-1}$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m$)
