Problem
A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg slides without friction along a straight, horizontal track while remaining perfectly aligned with the track (no rotation). To predict the stick’s horizontal displacement after 3.0 s, should it be treated as a point particle or as an extended body? State your choice and justify it in one sentence.
