5. (ROTATIONAL ENERGY) In class we saw that the linear acceleration of two wheels rolling down a ramp depends on the mass distributions of the wheels. This time the wheels will roll up the ramp. If the two wheels start at the bottom of the ramp with the same initial speed, which wheel will roll higher up the ramp? Or will the wheels reach the same height? The two wheels have the same radius (R) and the same mass (M). To approximate the moments of inertia of wheels A and B, you can assume that the object with a higher moment of inertia is similar to a cylindrical hoop and the object with a lower moment of inertia is similar to a solid cylinder.
