If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2, what friction ofthe total mechanical energy is lost due to frictional forces?

Run#

Mass of hanger + weights (M)

mass of glider +flag (m)

velocity of glider (v)

d (m)  

potential energy lost (Mgd) (J)

Kinetic energy gained 1/2 (m+M)v2

% change (ME)
