Coefficient of Friction
In this lab, a cart will be launched over the floor using the cart's plunger. The cart will decelerate over the floor under the combined action of rolling friction and the average floor slope. To determine both the coefficient of rolling friction, µ, and the angle the floor is inclined, θ, two separate experiments must be done.
