Question: A block is placed on a plane inclined at angle . The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is = tan

A block is placed on a plane inclined at angle θ. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is µ = tan θ. The block is given a kick so that it initially moves with speed V horizontally along the plane (that is, in the direction perpendicular to the direction pointing straight down the plane). What is the speed of the block after a very long time?
