A block of mass M 1kg lies on a smooth horizontal floor A

A block of mass M 1kg lies on a smooth horizontal floor A bullet of mass 0 1kg is fired horizontally with a velocity u 110m s and gets embedded in the block The combined mass is set into motion and encounters a rough inclined plane of inclination 37 and length 1 8m in its path It starts moving up the inclined plane 0 5 reaches the topmost point and finally lands on the horizontal floor Assuming that the mass is not jerked when it starts up on the inclined plane the horizontal distance covered by the combined mass while it is not in contact with the horizontal floor is approximately in m
