Suppose a 210 kg motorcycle has two 12.5 kg wheels and is heading toward a hill at a speed of 32.0 m/s. Assume each wheel to be approximately an annular ring, as shown in the figure below, with an inner radius of 0.280 m and an outer radius of 0.330 m. How much energy (in J) is lost to friction if the motorcycle only gains an altitude of 31.0 m before coming to rest
