$A$ block of weight $10 \ N$ slides down a curved track $AB$ and then onto a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface is $0.20$. If the block starts sliding from a height of $1.0 \ m$ above the horizontal surface,calculate the distance $S$ it travels on the rough surface before coming to rest. [$g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$]

$A$ large block of wood of mass $M = 5.99 \, kg$ is hanging from two long massless cords. $A$ bullet of mass $m = 10 \, g$ is fired into the block and gets embedded in it. The (block $+$ bullet) then swing upwards,their centre of mass rising a vertical distance $h = 9.8 \, cm$ before the (block $+$ bullet) pendulum comes momentarily to rest at the end of its arc. The speed of the bullet just before collision is: (Take $g = 9.8 \, ms^{-2}$) (in $m/s$)
