(a) Without the wheels, a bicycle frame has a mass of 7.96 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 3.80 m/s. (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 796 kg moves forward at 0.380 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 cord is wrapped around a pulley that is shaped like a disk of mass m and radius r. The cord's free end is connected to a block of mass M. The block starts from rest and then slides down an incline that makes an angle O with the horizontal as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is µu. (a) Use the concepts of energy to find an expression for the block's speed as a function of position, d, down the incline. (b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block in terms of µ, m, M, g and O. m,r, M

Two identical balls, A and B, are each attached to very lightstring, and each string is wrapped around the rim of a pulley of mass Mon a frictionless axle. The only difference is that the pulley for ball Ais a solid disk, while the one for ball B is a hollow disk. If both balls are released from rest and fall the same distance,which one will have more kinetic energy, or will they have the samekinetic energy? Explain your reasoning.
A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel (solid disk) with a radius of 2.00 m and a mass of 400 kg. Before a trip, the flywheel is attached to an electric motor, which brings the flywheel's rotational speed up to 4500 rev/min. (a) Find the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel. (b) If the flywheel is to supply energy to the car as would a 20.0-hp motor, find the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought back up to speed.
