A bullet of mass $20\, g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500 \,m/s$ passes  through a wooden block of mass $10.0 \,kg$ initially at rest on a surface. The bullet  emerges with a speed of $100\, m/s$ and the block slides $20 \,cm$ on the surface  before coming to rest, the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$

A conveyor belt is moving at a constant speed of $2\, ms^{-1}$. A box is gently dropped on it. The coefficient of friction between them is $\mu  = 0.5$. The distance that the box will move relative to belt before coming to rest on it, (taking $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$) is  ........  $m$.
