Two blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a massless spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $K$. The blocks are initially resting on a smooth horizontal floor with the spring at its natural length as shown in the figure. $A$ third identical block $C$,also of mass $m$,moves on the floor with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides with $A$. Then:

$A$ ball of mass $m$ falls vertically from a height $h$ and collides with a block of equal mass $m$ moving horizontally with a velocity $v$ on a surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is $0.2$,while the coefficient of restitution $e$ between the ball and the block is $0.5$. There is no friction acting between the ball and the block. The velocity of the block decreases by:
