**Topic: Elastic Collisions and Kinetic Energy**

---

**Problem Statement:**

An air-track cart with mass \( m_1 = 0.22 \, \text{kg} \) and initial speed \( v_0 = 0.95 \, \text{m/s} \) collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest initially. 

**Part A:**

If the mass of the second cart is \( m_2 = 0.43 \, \text{kg} \), how much kinetic energy is lost as a result of the collision?

**Instructions:**

Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

**Response Box:**

- **Value:** [Input Field]
- **Units:** [Input Field]

**Tools:**
