How do I solve this...A block of mass m is projected across a horizontal surface with an initial speed v?

1 Answer

Answer :

It slides until it stops due to the friction force between the block and the surface. The same block is now projected across the horizontal surface with an initial speed v/2. When the block has come to rest, how does the distance from the projection point compare to that in the first case?
