There are 4 forces acting on the block:gravitational force downwards,the force
downwards,the reaction force
upwards,the friction force
horizontally.
The net force which is their vector sum, gives the block some acceleration
By Newton's Second law
Because the block moves horizontally, its speed and acceleration are also horizontal. Thus the net force is also horizontal that means all vertical forces are...
There are 4 forces acting on the block:

the force downwards,
the reaction force upwards,
the friction force horizontally.
The net force which is their vector sum, gives the block some acceleration
By Newton's Second law
Because the block moves horizontally, its speed and acceleration are also horizontal. Thus the net force is also horizontal that means all vertical forces are balanced,
and
It is known that Therefore, the acceleration magnitude is
Also it is known that friction force is opposite to the direction of movement.
Therefore, the speed of the block is and the block stops at time
(when the speed becomes zero). The distance as a function of time is therefore
and the farthest distance is
This is the answer.
