A mass of 90g is placed on top of a vertical spring constant of 310N/m. The spring is then compressed further, by an outside force, by 11.4cm. The spring is released and the object is then propelled upward. Use conservation of energy to solve. A.) what is the maximum velocity of the mass after it separates from the spring? B.) How high will the mass travel?
