A block of mass \(2~\text{kg}\) is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is \(2~\text{m}\) and spring constant is \(200~\text{N/m.} \) The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes \(1~\text{m}\) and then released. At distance \({x ~\text m} (x<2) \) from the wall. the speed of the block will be: 
1. \(10[1-(2-{x})]^{\frac{3}{2}} ~\text{m/s} \)
2. \(10\left[1-(2-x)^2\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(10\left[1-(2-x)^2\right]~\text{m/s}\)

A block of mass \(1 ~\text{kg},\) moving along \(x\text-\)axis with speed \(v_i = 10 ~\text{m/s} \) enters a rough region ranging from \(x = 0.1 \text{ m} \) to \(x = 1.9~\text{ m.} \) The retarding force acting on the block in this range is \(F_r = -kx ~\text{N,} \) with \(k = 10 ~\text{N/m.} \) Then the final speed of the block as it crosses rough region is:
1. \(4 ~\text{m/s} \)
2. \(6 ~\text{m/s} \)

Consider two blocks \(A\) and \(B \) of masses \(m_1= 10~\text{kg }\) and \(m_2= 5~\text{kg }\) that are placed on a frictionless table. The block \(A\) moves with a constant speed \(v=3 ~\text{m/s} \) towards the block \(B \) kept at rest. A spring with spring constant \(k=3000 \text{ N/m} ~\) is attached with the block \(B \) as shown in the figure. After the collision, suppose that the blocks \(A \) and \(B, \) along with the spring in constant compression state, move together, then the compression in the spring is: (Neglect the mass of the spring)
