An object of mass 0.25 kg is compressed 4.0 cm on a horizontal spring with a mechanism to hold it in place. The spring constant is 570 N/m and the spring is on the edge of a table that is 1.5 m above the ground. The mechanism is released and the object leaves the spring and eventually hits the ground. Assuming that air resistance, friction, and the mass of the spring is negligible, determine the speed that the object hits the ground.
