Problem

A 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg} block is initially at rest against a horizontal ideal spring with force constant 150 N/m150\,\text{N/m}. The spring is compressed 0.20 m0.20\,\text{m} and then released on a frictionless surface. Determine the speed of the block at the instant the spring returns to its natural length.
