A mass and spring are arranged on a horizontal, frictionless table as shown in the figure below. The spring constant is k = 545 N/m, and the mass is 4.0 kg. The block is pushed against the spring so that the spring is compressed an amount 0.31 m, and then it is released. Find the velocity of the mass when it leaves the spring.

    A block of mass m is pushed against a spring of spring constant k. The spring is compressed by a distance d, the block is then released. It is launched by the spring along a horizontal frictionless surface with a final speed v. A second block, this one having mass 9m is pushed against the same spring and released, gaining a final speed 3v. By what distance was the spring compressed in the second case?
