Question

If a bicycle starts from rest and is pedaled normally until the bike is moving at 6 meters per second across level ground, what kinds of energy have its tires been given? (Select all that apply) g

Answer 1

Answer: Translational Kinetic Energy

Rotational Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

An object has translational kinetic energy when it is undergoing through a linear displacement.

Rotational energy is kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object .

Here the wheel of bicycle undergoes both translational and rotational kinetic energy has it moves with linear displacement with rotation in it.

Hence, the tires have been two kinds of energy : translational and rotational kinetic energy
