Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the direction of motion

The cart is moving to the right.

Step 2: Identify the direction of acceleration

Since the cart is slowing down, the acceleration must be in the opposite direction of motion. Therefore, the acceleration is to the left.

Step 3: Identify the direction of net force

The net force is always in the same direction as the acceleration. So, the net force must be to the left.

Step 4: Analyze the vector diagrams

The only diagram showing a net force to the left is C.

Final Answer

C
