Question: A 0 . 6 5 0 kg mass is held at rest against a linear spring that is compressed by 0 . 0 7 0

0.650 kg mass is held at rest against a linear spring that is compressed by 0.070 m. The spring force pushes on the mass in the +x direction and the mass is on a horizontal surface.

a) If the mass leaves the spring with a speed of 10.0 m/s and the surface is frictionless, what is the spring constant of the spring?

b) If the mass leaves the spring with a speed of 10.0 m/s and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.750, what is the spring constant of the spring?
