$A$ 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. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$
