Two identical balls, \(A~\&~B,\) are rolled towards each other with velocities of \(2~\text{m/s}\) and \(1~\text{m/s}\) from the opposite sides of a \(6~\text m\) – long room. There is no friction anywhere, and all collisions are elastic:    the balls exchange their velocities whenever they collide with each other, and they get "reflected" by the walls. Assume that the motion begins at time \(t=0~\text{(s)}.\)
            
The time \((t),\) when the balls collide with each other for the first time, is:
1. \(1~\text s\)
2. \(1.5~\text s\)
3. \(2~\text s\)
4. \(3~\text s\)

A block is connected to a wall by an elastic spring, which is initially unextended. A constant force \(F\) is applied to the block, so that the spring is stretched and the block moves to the right. The spring extends and slows the block down, and it comes to rest again, briefly. There is no friction anywhere. The displacement of the block is \(d.\)
           
The work done by the force \(F\) equals:
1. \(\dfrac{Fd}{2}\)
2. \(Fd\)
3. \(2Fd\)
4. \(\dfrac{Fd}{3}\)
