A bike (including wheels) and rider have a combined mass of 68.5 kg and the two wheels of the bike weigh 0.95 kg each. The wheels can be treated as circular hoops. The cyclist freewheels down a hill starting at a speed of 3.25 m/s. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill which is 12m lower than the top?

A particular DVD player has an operational angular velocity of 2500 rpm. We model thespinning DVD as a disk (I = 0.5 mr^2) with radius r = 0.1m, m = 40 g. A) What is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge of the DVD when it is spinningat operational speed? What is the tangential velocity of this point?
