Thanks for the reply!

Homework Statement I have been looking at one of my review sheets, and do not know how the professor got the equations. Here is the relevant paragraph: Consider two particles of mass m1 and m2 isolated within a box, with respect to which they have velocities u1 and u2. The box is moving at a...

what i meant was does the choice of the size of the front wheel affect the choice of the size of the back wheels if one wants to maximise speed and i also would like to know how they are related. also kinda confused. i think in order for the wheel not to slip the moments around the centra of it...

[b]1. i am in my first year of my engineering course, now doing a project that involves designing, building and testing a spring powered dragster. i am charged with the design of the wheels. so far i know that inertia is proportional to the square of the radius (k and m almost constant) and the...
