Two blocks, \( m_2 > m_1 \), having the same kinetic energy, move from a frictionless surface onto a surface having friction coefficient \( \mu_k \). Which block will travel further before stopping?(a) \(m_1\) , (b) \(m_2\) , (c) Both will travel the same distance , (d) More information is needed to determine which block goes further , (e) It depends on the coefficient of static friction :
