A Solid Wheel with Mass M, Radius R, and Rotational

question 21

Multiple Choice

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:

• A)F = Ma, f = 0
• B)F = Ma, f = Ma/2
• C)F = 2Ma, f = Ma
• D)F = 2Ma, f = Ma/2
• E)F = 3Ma/2, f = Ma/2
