Two block of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected with the help of a spring of spring constant $k$ initially to natural length as shown. A sharp impulse is given to mass $m_2$ so that it acquires a velocity $v_0$ towards right. If the system is kept an smooth floor then find the maximum elongation that the spring will suffer

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ till 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

A block of mass $m$ starts at rest at height $h$ on a frictionless inclined plane. The block slides down the plane, travels across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $μ$ , and compresses a spring with force constant $k$ a distance $x$ before momentarily coming to rest. Then the spring extends and the block travels back across the rough surface, sliding up the plane. The block travels a total distance $d$ on rough horizontal surface. The correct expression for the maximum height $h’$ that the block reaches on its return is

A block of mass $2\,\,kg$ is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure $(\mu  = 0.2)$ so that it just touches the spring. The block is allowed to move downwards. The spring will be compressed to a maximum of
