Consider a spring (k=12.50 N/m) attached to a wall, compressed a distance 0.58 m by a 0.24 kg mass that sits on a flat frictionless surface. When released, what is the speed of the mass after leaving the spring? What is the spring potential energy of the spring when it was fully compressed? (round to the nearest hundredth) Suppose the system were turned vertically, such that the compressed spring shoots the mass straight up into the air. Calculate the height the mass would reach after being released.

Question

Consider a spring (k=12.50 N/m) attached to a wall, compressed a distance 0.58 m by a 0.24 kg mass that sits on a flat frictionless surface. When released, what is the speed of the mass after leaving the spring?

What is the spring potential energy of the spring when it was fully compressed? (round to the nearest hundredth)

Suppose the system were turned vertically, such that the compressed spring shoots the mass straight up into the air. Calculate the height the mass would reach after being released.
a) 4.19 m
b)1.54 m
c)1.79 m
d)0.89 m
