Answer:

the cart would ultimately move faster than before

Step-by-step explanation:

If the load on the cart was reduced by half (800-grams to 400-grams) but the force being exerted on the cart remained the same then the cart would ultimately move faster than before. More likely at double the speed, this is because there is less force being exerted in the opposite direction due to friction caused by the load of the cart.
