(a) Without the wheels, a bicycle frame has a mass of 8.19 kg. Each of the wheels can be roughly modeled as a uniform solid disk with a mass of 0.820 kg and a radius of 0.343 m. Find the kinetic energy of the whole bicycle when it is moving forward at 2.90 m/s. 37.88 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. J (b) Before the invention of a wheel turning on an axle, ancient people moved heavy loads by placing rollers under them. (Modern people use rollers, too. Any hardware store will sell you a roller bearing for a lazy susan.) A stone block of mass 819 kg moves forward at 0.290 m/s, supported by two uniform cylindrical tree trunks, each of mass 82.0 kg and radius 0.343 m. No slipping occurs between the block and the rollers or between the rollers and the ground. Find the total kinetic energy of the moving objects.

A wheel is rotating about a fixed axis with constant angular acceleration 3 rad/s2. At different moments, its angular speed is 2 rad/s, 0. and +2 rad/s. For a point on the rim of the wheel, consider at these moments the magnitude of the tangential component of acceleration and the magnitude of the radial component of acceleration. Rank the following five items from largest to smallest: (a) |at| when = 2 rad/s, (b)|ar| when = 2 rad/s, (c)|ar| when = 0, (d) |at| when = 2 rad/s, and (e) |ar| when = 2 rad/s. If two items are equal, show them as equal in your ranking. If a quantity is equal to zero, show that fact in your ranking.
