You are riding your bicycle down the street at a speed of 16 m/s. Your bicycle's frame has a mass of 6.0 kg, and each of its two wheels has mass 2.2 kg and radius 0.34 m. Each wheel can be thought of as a hollow hoop (assuming that the rim has much larger mass than the spokes). What is the total kinetic energy of the bicycle (in Joules)?(take into account both the translational and rotational motion.)
