A block with mass 0.50 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.20 m (figure). When released, the block moves on a horizontal table top for 1.00 m before coming to rest. The spring constant k is 100 N/m What, is the coefficient of kinetic friction, μk, between the block and the table?
