A spring with a spring constant of 303 N/m is initially compressed by a distance of 0.056 m from its equilibrium position. A mass of 0.053 kg is then held against the compressed spring and released from rest while upon a horizontal, frictionless surface. Assuming that the spring then pushes the mass across the surface, with speed does the mass leave the spring? Assume proper SI Units.
