Problem

A 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg} block rests against a horizontal spring fixed to a wall. The spring has force constant 200 N m−1200\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1} and is compressed by 0.15 m0.15\,\text{m}. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.250.25. The block is released from rest. Determine its speed at the instant the spring returns to its natural length.
