Question
A wheel with a weight of 387 N comes off a moving truck and rolls without slipping along a highway. At the bottom of a hill it is rotating at an angular velocity of 26.5 rad/s . The radius of the wheel is 0.622 m and its moment of inertia about its rotation axis is 0.800 MR2. Friction does work on the wheel as it rolls up the hill to a stop, at a height of h above the bottom of the hill; this work has a magnitude of 3506 J.
Required:
Calculate h.

Answer:
h = 15.6 m
Explanation:
The kinetic energy, minus the work of friction, will convert to potential energy.
v = ωR = 26.5(0.622) = 16.483 m/s
m = 387/9.81 = 39.45 kg
½Mv² + ½Iω² – Wf = Mgh
½Mv² + ½(0.800MR²)(v/R)² – Wf = Mgh
0.9Mv² – Wf = Mgh
h = (0.9(39.45)(16.483²) – 3605) / 387 = 15.6103…
