A cart, placed on an incline, will accelerate as it rolls down the ramp. If you incline an air-hockey table at the same angle as the ramp and place the puck on the air table, the puck will accelerate as it slides down the table. How would the acceleration of the air hockey puck compare to the rolling cart while both were on the incline? a)apuck = acart b)apuck > acart c)depends on their masses d)depends on the radius of the cart’s wheels compared to the air hockey puck e)apuck < acart
