Problem
On a frictionless horizontal track, a 2.0 kg block is connected to an ideal spring with spring constant 40 N·m⁻¹. The block is released from rest 0.10 m to the right of the spring’s equilibrium length. Calculate the block’s instantaneous acceleration immediately after release. Give magnitude, direction, and units.
