Question

A block of mass m moving with a velocity v0 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

To an observer A, the work done by spring force is

  1. negative but nothing can be said about its magnitude    
  2. negative fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m v subscript 0 end subscript superscript 2 end superscript    
  3. positive but nothing can be said about its magnitude    
  4. plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m v subscript 0 end subscript superscript 2 end superscript    

The correct answer is: negative fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m v subscript 0 end subscript superscript 2 end superscript

In the figure shown all the surfaces are frictionless, and mass of the block, m = 1 kg. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of 10 m/s2 by applying a force on the wedge, so that the block does not slip on the wedge. Then work done by the normal force in ground frame on the block in square root of 3 seconds is
