b If the slide is 4.0 m long and the boy's final speed is vf=f = 5.0 m/s, what is his initial speed, in meters per second?

Draw a picture of a cart rolling up a ramp. Draw arrows above the cart to show the direction of the velocity and the direction of the acceleration. Choose a coordinate system and include this in your picture.
Draw a new picture of a cart rolling down a ramp. Draw arrows above the cart to show the direction of the velocity and the direction of the acceleration. Label your coordinate system.
Sketch a graph of the instantaneous acceleration vs. time for the entire motion of the cart as it rolls up and then back down the track after an initial push. Label the instant where the cart reverses its motion near the top of the track. Explain your reasoning. Write down the equation(s) that best represents this graph. If there are constants in your equation, what kinematic quantities do they represent? How would you determine these constants from your graph?
