1. A cart travels along a smooth table. The cart moves as a result of a suspended mass attached to a pulley that pulls the cart towards the end of the table. If the mass, displacement and time from start to finish are know, how can you determine the friction of the table?
I think you require acceleration for later on so use v=d/t and then a=v/t to find the acceleration. Then maybe use Fnet=ma or Fnet=Ff + Fapp, what is the applied force equal to and how would you determine it?
Numbers: 100g suspended weight. Distance of 75cm, total time of 2 seconds.
