Two 3.25-g masses are attached by a spring with a force constant of k = 450. kg

Question:

Two 3.25-g masses are attached by a spring with a force constant of k = 450. kg s−2. Calculate the zero point energy of the system and compare it with the thermal energy kBT at 298 K. If the zero point energy were converted to translational energy, what would be the speed of the masses?
