$A$ block is thrown with a velocity of $2 \, m/s$ (relative to the ground) on a belt,which is moving with a velocity of $4 \, m/s$ in the opposite direction of the initial velocity of the block. If the block stops slipping on the belt after $4 \, s$ of throwing,then choose the correct statement$(s)$:

$A$ horizontal force of $4\,N$ is needed to keep a block of mass $0.5\,kg$ sliding on a horizontal surface with a constant speed. The coefficient of sliding friction must be: $[g = 10\,m/s^2]$

Two masses $m_1 = 10 \text{ kg}$ and $m_2 = 20 \text{ kg}$ are connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley,as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of the horizontal surface is $\mu = 0.15$. The minimum mass $m$ that should be placed on top of $m_2$ to stop the motion is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ is moving on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is $\mu_{k}$. The net force exerted by the surface on the block is (where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. If a horizontal force of $20 \ N$ acting on the block produces an acceleration of $7 \ m \ s^{-2}$ in it,then the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is $(g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2})$.
