Question
![6. A frictionless cart sits on a ramp that is tilted down at an angle of 30.0° from horizontal. The cart is
released from rest, with an initial position of
* = [0 m] + [0.500 mlj
It rolls down the ramp (down and to the right) once it is released, and it's acceleration points down
the ramp, parallel to the ramp, with a magnitude of 4.90 m/s². Use a coordinate system where up is
+y and to the right is +x.
a. What are the x- and y-components of the cart's initial velocity?
b.
What are the x- and y-components of the cart's acceleration?
c. Use your answers to parts a and b to find the cart's position and velocity 1.50 seconds after
it is released. Write your answers in unit vector notation.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/278fbf48-8175-4c44-ac0e-2265809c567f/ed85eb68-0deb-4888-a4db-0177ca7a949e/cezrv7_thumbnail.png)
