When a block is suspended from a vertically hanging spring, it stretches the spring from its original length of 4.50 cm to a total length of x = 5.50 cm. The spring with the same block attached is then placed on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is pulled so that the spring stretches to a total length of y = 7.28 cm; then the block is released, and it oscillates back and forth. What is the maximum speed of the block as it oscillates?
