A small block with mass 1.50 kgkg is placed against a light spring that is compressed 0.250 mm. The spring has force constant 50.0 N/mN/m . The block and spring are released from rest, and the block travels along a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is μkμk = 0.500. When the block has moved 0.250 mm and the spring has reached its equilibrium length, the block loses contact with the spring.
Find the speed of the block at the instant when it leaves the spring?
Calculate the maximum speed of the block during its motion?
