Your assignment in lab is to measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 350 g block and a smooth metal table. To do so, you decide to launch the block at various speeds and measure how far it slides; your data are listed in the table. Use a graph to determine the value of μ_k.

Speed (m/s)                Distance (cm)

0.5 ..................................    5

 1.0 ..................................    24

 1.5 ..................................    41

 2.0 ..................................    83

   2.5 ....................................  130
