detained by the spring?

7.28A block of 0.500 kg connected to a spring of

0.60 m with constant force k = 40.0 N/m y
a negligible mass is at rest with its face
back at point A of a horizontal table without
friction. The block is pulled to the right with a
constant horizontal force F = 20.0 N. a) What
the speed of the block when its rear face arrives
to point B, which is 0.25 m to the right of A? b) At that point, the block is released, In the
subsequent movement, how close does the block get to the wall to which it is attached
leftmost end of the spring? R = a) 3.87 m/s b) -0.50 m
