spring constant ... k = 20 N / 0.2 m
stored energy = 1/2 k x^2 = 1/2 * 100 * 0.2^2 Joules
the K.E. of the block equals the stored energy in the spring
1/2 m v^2 = 2 J
v^2 = 4 J / 0.4 kg
stored energy = 1/2 k x^2 = 1/2 * 100 * 0.2^2 Joules
the K.E. of the block equals the stored energy in the spring
1/2 m v^2 = 2 J
v^2 = 4 J / 0.4 kg
