A small block of mass MB= 0.50 kg is placed on a long slab of mass MS= 3.0 kg as shown below. Initially, the slab is at rest and the block has a speed v0of 4.0 m/s to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and slab is 0.20, and there is no friction between the slab and the horizontal surface on which it moves.
