Chapter 10, Problem 10.79

(choose chapter or problem)

The 1100-kg mass of a car includes four tires, each ofmass (including wheels) 35 kg and diameter 0.80 m. Assumeeach tire and wheel combination acts as a solid cylinder.Determine (a) the total kinetic energy of the car when traveling95 km/h and (b) the fraction of the kinetic energy inthe tires and wheels, (c) If the car is initially at rest and isthen pulled by a tow truck with a force of 1500 N, what isthe acceleration of the car? Ignore frictional losses. (d) Whatpercent error would you make in part (c) if you ignored therotational inertia of the tires and wheels?
