A spring is placed horizontally on a frictionless table. The spring constant of the spring is 50 N/m, and it is compressed 0.1 m by a 2 kg block. a. How much energy is stored in the spring? b. When the spring expands back to its resting position, it pushes the block away. What is the kinetic energy of the block as a result of this force? c. What is the velocity of the block as it is pushed away by the spring?
