A 2.1 kg mass at rest on a perfectly smooth (frictionless) table is attached to a fixed wall by a spring. Assume that the spring obeys Hooke's Law while it is extended or compressed, with the same spring constant. A horizontal force is applied, and when the spring is compressed by Ax = 12.3 cm, the force of the spring on the mass is F = 1,792 N (directly away from the wall). When the mass is released from this position, it oscillates back and forth on the table. fixed wall spring …………… F: Ax What is the maximum velocity (in m/s) of the mass after the spring is released? Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
