$A$ particle of mass $M$ moving along the $X$-axis with speed $V_0$ collides with and sticks to another particle of mass $m$ moving along the $Y$-axis with speed $V_0$. What will be the velocity of the combined mass after the collision?

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the 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
According to the observer $A$:

$A$ small block of mass $200 \ g$ is placed on a horizontal slab at a height of $2 \ m$ above the floor. The block is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $10.0 \ cm$. Upon releasing, the block moves horizontally until it leaves the spring. Calculate the horizontal distance covered by the block after leaving the slab and just before hitting the ground. The spring constant is $50 \ N \ m^{-1}$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $m$)

$300 \, J$ of work is done in sliding up a $2 \, kg$ block on an inclined plane to a height of $10 \, m$. Taking the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ to be $10 \, m/s^2$,the work done against friction is ........ $J$.
