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?
