Question: A block of mass 0.25kg is held on a table (h=1.2m) with negligible friction as shown.
An ideal spring with spring constant k - 105 N/m is compressed by 14cm by the block until it is released.
a) After the block is released and just as it looses contact with the spring, what is the velocity of the block?
b) How far will the block go horizontally before hitting the floor?
c) What will be the speed (magnitude of velocity) of the block when it hits the floor?
