1. A cart from an amusement t park ride is accelerated up at an angle θ. Assume friction is negligible, but air resistance is significant (choose your own angel) create a free body diagram3. The cart from problem 2 drops at a very steep of Ø. (Choose a steeper angle than in #2) create a free body diagram
