A mass of 1.3 kilograms is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface against an uncompressed spring with spring constant 1,153.1 N/m. The mass is pushed against the spring is compressed a distance 0.42 m and then released. How high (vertically) in m does the mass rise from the original height before it stops (momentarily).

A mass of 1.43 kilograms is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface against an uncompressed spring with spring constant 973.6 N/m. The mass is pushed against the spring until the spring is compressed a distance 0.6 m and then released. How high (vertically) in m does the mass rise from the original height before it stops (momentarily).
