A block of mass 2.0 kg is attached to a horizontal spring that has a force constant of 1.70 103 N/m, and is free to slide on a frictionless surface as shown. The spring is compressed to xi = ?3.5 cm by pushing on the block, and then the block is released.
Find the work done by initially compressing the spring.
J
Find the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches x = 0.
J
Find the speed of the block at x = 0.
