Problem

A 0.020 kg0.020\,\text{kg} bullet traveling 300 m s−1300\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} embeds itself in a 1.0 kg1.0\,\text{kg} wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.200.20. Assuming the bullet remains lodged in the block, calculate the distance the block slides before coming to rest.
