A block of mass, m1=2 kg slides on a frictionless table with speed of  10 m s-1. In front of it, another block of mass m2=5 kg is moving with speed 3 m s-1 in the same direction and a massless spring of spring constant, k=1120 N m-1 is attached on the backside of m2 as shown. The maximum compression of the spring in cm when the blocks collide is,

A block of mass M=2 kg, with a semicircular track of radius R=1.1 m, rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A uniform cylinder of radius r=0.1 m and mass m=1.0 kg is released from rest from the top point A. The cylinder slips on the semicircular frictionless track. The speed of the block when the cylinder reaches the bottom of the track at B is g=10 m s-2
