# A block of mass \(0.50\text{ kg}\) on a frictionless horizontal surface is attached to an ideal spring with spring constant \(k = 50\text{ N/m}\). The block is pulled from its equilibrium position to a displacement of \(x = 0.20\text{ m}\) and released from rest at time \(t = 0\). What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block during its oscillation?

A block of mass \(0.50\text{ kg}\) on a frictionless horizontal surface is attached to an ideal spring with spring constant \(k = 50\text{ N/m}\). The block is pulled from its equilibrium position to a displacement of \(x = 0.20\text{ m}\) and released from rest at time \(t = 0\). What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block during its oscillation?

- **A.** \(1.0\text{ J}\)
- **B.** \(2.0\text{ J}\)
- **C.** \(5.0\text{ J}\)
- **D.** \(10\text{ J}\)
