Consider a car. The body of the car (excluding the wheels) has a mass 350 kg, while each individual wheel has mass 23 kg and radius 0.33 m. The wheels can be modeled as solid disks, which have inertia 1/2 M R2. If the car is moving, body itself translates, whereas the wheels are rolling without slipping. Calculate the total kinetic energy of the car if it is rolling with speed 24 m/s.
