| - | A cart is given a slight push along a near frictionless track (as shown in the video below). After the push, the cart is observed to move with a near constant velocity $\vec{v}_{cart} =\langle 1.2, 0, 0 \rangle \dfrac{m}{s}$. Determine its location after 3 seconds. | + | A cart is given a slight push along a near frictionless track (as shown in the video below). |
