Question
100%

You need to answer in numerical form in two decimal places only unless otherwise specified. For problems having a whole number or zero as an answer, the decimal isn't necessary. For example, if your answer is 900, the decimal isn't necessary. No need to input the units, follow the units given by each problem. ROUNDING OFF VALUES MUST BE DONE ONLY IN THE FINAL ANSWER TO AVOID LARGE DISCREPANCIES.

I'll rate!

The spring is initially compressed by 35 cm and suddenly
released with the system at rest. If the spring constant is
212 N/m, determine the absolute velocity (m/s) of the
lighter and heavier mass.
