A2.60kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0310m . the spring has force constant 810n/m . the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.39 . the block and spring are released from rest and the block slides along the floor.

a-what is the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of 0.0120m from its initial position? (at this point the spring is compressed 0.0190m .)

express your answer with the appropriate units.

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
