soo for physics, we did a lab where we launched a cart on a track on the floor and recorded time, distance, etc. to figure out things. one of the questions on the lab is:
can you think of a simple follow-up experiment that would allow you to determine how much the cart's deceleration was affected by floor slope?
i know that there WAS floor slope because the cart would roll backwards unless we stopped it, but i can't think of a follow-up experiment. maybe something having to do with what would happen if we LET it roll back as far as it wanted to?

A possible follow-up experiment would be to launch the cart on the same track, but with different slopes. Measure the time it takes for the cart to reach the end of the track for each slope, and compare the results. This would allow you to determine how much the cart's deceleration was affected by the floor slope.
