Suppose a 225 kg motorcycle is heading toward a hill at speed of 35 m/s the two wheels weigh 12 kg each and can be approximated as solid cylinders with a radius of 0.33 m. Note that the mass given for the motorcycle includes the mass of the tires  m = 225 kg v = 35 m/s h = 29 m How high can it coast up the hill if you neglect friction in m? How much energy is lost to friction if the motorcycle only gains an altitude of 29 m before coming to rest?

Question

Suppose a 225 kg motorcycle is heading toward a hill at speed of 35 m/s the two wheels weigh 12 kg each and can be approximated as solid cylinders with a radius of 0.33 m. Note that the mass given for the motorcycle includes the mass of the tires 

m = 225 kg

v = 35 m/s

h = 29 m

How high can it coast up the hill if you neglect friction in m?

How much energy is lost to friction if the motorcycle only gains an altitude of 29 m before coming to rest?
