Can you help me understand this Formula;

I = kmr^2
What is k ?
http://www.colorado.edu/physics/phys2010/phys2010_fa04/lab/lab5.pdf" just says it is a constant, between 0 and 1, depending on the shape. I can understand how the...
Thanks again for your help :D
I have one last question.
When you say Cylinder. do you mean that all the mass is at the outer points of the wheel? or that the mass is distributed throughout the whole radius?
IE a steel rod v a Steel pipe of same mass and same outer Diameter. Wouldn't the...
Don't worry Danger, your not the first to assume the Wheels were 0 mass.

Dale;
So its f = m a/2
Wheels in my case were a little light. They were 10kg each so I just used 40kg as a one solid wheel example. (It makes no...
So a one tonne car with 40kgs being held in the 4 10kg wheels (30cm radius)
So that’s 321.86kph/3 s = roughly 107
So f = 40 107/2 = 2140 (is this a meaningful number or is this in Newtons or ?? Clueless here ;))
So now the car acceleration;
Acceleration = 2140/1000kg = 2.14 (Again...
the question is two fold.
first fold is the Poll (least importance)
Second fold is "can some one please provide me with a formula that would calculate the force on the axle of the car as the wheel is being spun up by the treadmill"
The wheel is being spun by the treadmill.
the wheel...
Edited.
The car is not running , it is not going to move of its own accord. I am looking at "free to spin" wheels on the "accelerating treadmill". only the treadmill will be producing any force to the wheel.
Sorry I didn't make that clear. my boo
Bryce.
I have been asked to come up with a formula by a rather persistent person who is Addiment that a wheel on an accelerating treadmill attached to a mass (such as a car) would not produce enough translational force to move the Car.
The Question as posed to that persons;
Please forgive any and...
