A block of mass \({m} = 0.1~\text{kg}\) is connected to a spring of unknown spring constant \({k}.\) It is compressed to a distance \(x\) from rest. After approaching half the distance \(\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \) from the equilibrium position, it hits another identical block and comes to rest momentarily, while the other block moves with a velocity \(3~\text{ms}^{–1}.\) The total initial energy of the spring is:
1. \(0.3~\text{J}\)
2. \(0.6~\text{J}\)
3. \(1.5~\text{J}\)
4. \(0.8~\text{J}\)

A wedge of mass \(M=4m \) lies on a frictionless surface. A particle of mass \(m\) approaches the wedge with speed \(v.\) There is no friction between the particle and the plane, nor between the particle and the wedge. The maximum height reached by the particle on the wedge is given by:

1. \( \dfrac{2 v^2}{7 g} \) 2. \(\dfrac{v^2}{2 g} \)
3. \(\dfrac{2 v^2}{5 g} \) 4. \(\dfrac{v^2}{g}\)
