$A$ sphere of mass $m$ slides down a smooth inclined plane from a point $B$ at a height of $h$ starting from rest. The magnitude of the change in momentum of the particle between position $A$ (at the bottom of the incline) and $C$ (on the horizontal surface) is (assuming the angle of inclination of the plane is $\theta$ with respect to the horizontal):

Two bodies of masses $m$ and $2m$ are attached to the two ends of an ideal spring. The spring is compressed. The total energy stored in the spring is $60 \ J$. If the spring is released,then:

$A$ 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
According to observer $B$,the potential energy of the spring increases:
