    3.16 m/s

    Explanation:

    Elastic energy in the rubber = kinetic energy of the stone

    EE = KE

    ½ kx² = ½ mv²

    v = √ (kx²/m)

    Given k = 200 N/m, x = 0.05 m, and m = 0.050 kg:

    v = √ (200 N/m (0.05 m) ² / 0.050 kg)

    v = √10 m/s

    v ≈ 3.16 m/s

    Round as needed.
