A block of mass 2.80 kg is placed against a horizontal spring of constant k = 885 N/m and pushed so the spring compresses by 0.0600 m.

(a)What is the elastic potential energy of the block-spring system (in J)?

J(b)If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed (in m/s) after leaving the spring. m/s
