$A$ block of mass $m$ is pushed against a spring with spring constant $k$,which is fixed at one end to a wall. The block can slide on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. If the natural length of the spring is $L_0$ and it is compressed to half its length when the block is released,find the velocity of the block when the spring reaches its natural length.

$A$ block of mass $M$ moving on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a spring of spring constant $K$,as shown in the figure. If the spring compresses by a length $L$,then the maximum momentum of the block is:

$A$ spring has a natural length $l$ with one end fixed to the ceiling. The other end is fitted with a smooth ring which can slide on a horizontal rod fixed at distance $l$ below the ceiling. Initially,the spring makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,when the system is released from rest. Find the angle of the spring with the vertical,when the velocity of the ring reaches half of the maximum velocity,which the ring can attain during the motion.

$A$ spring is stretched by a distance $s$,and the potential energy stored in it is $10 \ J$. What is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional distance $s$ (in $J$)?
