A roller coaster cart is at the top of a hill on its track. It has a velocity of 5.4 m/s and is
26 m above the ground. The average force of friction opposing the motion of the cart is
2/3 the weight of the cart [Ffr=(2/3)*mg N]. At the bottom of the hill is a large spring
[k= (0.4*weight of the cart) N/m]. If the cart moves a total of 38.8 m along the track,
compressing the spring until it comes to a complete stop, how much will the spring
compress?
