A horizontal spring on a frictionless surface with a spring constant of 50 N/m is compressed 0.4 m away from equilibrium and it is held at rest. A 5 kg mass is attached at the end of the spring. The spring-mass system is released from rest. Calculate the kinetic energy of the mass when it is halfway back to its equilibrium position (0.2 m away).
