A 0.20-kg block rests on a frictionless, level surface and is attached to a horizontally aligned spring with a spring constant of 80 N/m. The block is initially displaced 4.0 cm from the equilibrium point and then released to set up a simple harmonic motion. A frictional force of 0.3 N exists between the block and surface. What is the speed of the block when it passes through the equilibrium

point after being released from the 4.0-cm displacement point? a. 0.45 m/s c. 0.72 m/s b. 0.63 m/s d. 1.2 m/s
