Question

A big block (mass M), initially resting on a frictionless

ground, starts to move due to a little block of mass m, which

is shot with speed v0 to its rough upper

surface. The kinetic friction coefficient

between the two bodies is μ.

  1. a) Determine the time T , that is

required, until both bodies move with

the common speed v∗.

  1. b) Determine the covered distance of

M, until the common speed is reached
