The graph to the right shows velocity vs. time for a cart on a track with a friction pad attached. The cart was launched from rest by a hoop spring. Use this graph to answer the following question: so long as the ramp is level, even with the friction pad NOT in contact with the track it is impossible to produce a region "b" that is flat (horizontal), i.e. that shows a constant velocity. This is because b a
