Solution

The correct option is D v22μg
When the block is placed on the belt, force of kinetic friction acts on the block until it attains the same speed as that of belt.
Frictional force acting on the block = μmg
This force causes the acceleration of the block.
vdvdx=μg
v0vdv=μgs0dx
v22=μgs
s=v22μg
