Answer

The kinetic energy is $~~5.6~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the kinetic energy $K_2$: $K_2+U_{e2} = K_1+U_{e1}+W$ $K_2 = 0+U_{e1}-U_{e2}+W$ $K_2 = \frac{1}{2}k~(x_1^2-x_2^2)-F~\Delta x$ $K_2 = \frac{1}{2}(4000~N/m)~[(0.10~m)^2-(0.080~m)^2]-(80~N)(0.020~m)$ $K_2 = 5.6~J$ The kinetic energy is $~~5.6~J$
