A cart with a mass of 235 g is moving along a track with an
initial speed of 0.23 m/s when it hits a bit of eraser shaving on
in the track. The eraser shaving gets stuck between the wheel and
the body of the cart and acts as a brake to bring the cart to a
stop.
Calculate the friction of the eraser shaving if the cart stops 0.87
m past the point it hit the eraser shaving for the following
scenarios: (Show your work and explain your reasoning.)
The track is level and the cart is moving at a constant velocity.
The track is inclined and the cart has an acceleration of 1.2 m/s2.
