Consider a light spring with k= 500 N/m that has been compressed 6 cm and placed horizontally on a frictionless table. The table top is located 0.75 m above the ground. A 300 g mass is placed in front of the spring and the spring is released. During the launch the mass travels a short distance along the table before flying off the edge. Using concepts of conservation of energy, determine the speed (in m/s) of the mass when it hits the ground. Enter the magnitude of the velocity below. You will turn in your written support for this question. In that written support, you must also determine the speed of the mass as it leaves the edge of the table top.
