Answer:

18000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

At point 4:

Mass of cart = 600 Kg

Velocity of cart (v) = 7.745 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 600 × 7.745²

KE = 300 × 7.745²

KE ≈ 18000 J

Therefore, the mechanical energy of the cart at point 4 is 18000 J
