Question: A solid wheel with mass M, radius R, and rotational inertia MR2/2, rolls without sliding on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied
A solid wheel with mass M, radius R, and rotational inertia MR2/2, rolls without sliding on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied to the axle and the center of mass has an acceleration a. The magnitudes of the applied force F and the frictional force f of the surface, respectively, are:
- F=Ma,f=0
- F=Ma,f=Ma/2
- F=2Ma,f=Ma
- F=2Ma,f=Ma/2
- F =3Ma/2, f =Ma/2
