A mass of 0.83 kg is initially traveling at 6.1 m/s across a horizontal, frictionless surface. It then reaches a spring with a fixed end having a spring constant of 295 N/m that is positioned horizontally and initially at equilibrium. The incoming mass will then contact the spring, compressing it as it comes to rest.    What is the speed of the mass upon the spring being compressed by 0.217 m from its equilibrium position?
