[rcmango]

Homework Statement

the wheel of a car that is going up hill has?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

this is fairly simple..

but i believe it has potential energy and kinetic energy because of linear motion and rotary motion.

anyone who can confirm this or have i added to much energy.
thanks.

You are close to correct, but you should be more specific, I believe. What kind(s) of kinetic energy? And saying that it "has potential energy" is not really accurate... what can you say about the potential energy?
