Fig. 2: Equipment setup A 200 g mass suspended over a pulley pulls a cart containing some weights but having no wheels along a surface. The cart has a mass of 450 g. The cart and the hanging mass start from rest. a) After the 200 g mass has dropped 0.75 m, the cart and the mass are traveling at 0.95 m/s. How much mechanical energy has been lost to friction?

4) An archer draws his compound bow and shoots an arrow. The 25 g arrow leaves the bow with a velocity of 95 m/s. The power stroke of the bow is 57 cm; that is, the bowstring exerts force on the arrow through a displacement of 57 cm. The peak draw weight of the bow is 312 N. (This is the maximum force that the archer has to exert on the bowstring.) a. How much kinetic energy does the arrow have after release? b. If shot straight up, how high will the arrow go?
