Hello, first I'm sorry for my English. I have a problem with my exam task, this answer wasn't done good according to the professor and I have not idea how I can do it in a different way.Write mechanical energy homogeneous circular wheel with a radius R rolling in the horizontal plane at the speed of its center v0 if at the point of contact with the plane homogeneous circular wheel speed is three times lower.

Please post these kind of questions in our homework section and use the (automatically inserted) template there. (Not this one, because I moved it into the homework section, but next time.)
Also please consider to type your efforts in our editor rather than upload an image which is hard to read, especially on mobile devices. You can and should use LaTeX for formulas. For a brief introduction see: https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/

With pictures of poor quality you will risk, that people don't want to answer, because they do not feel the need to decipher your formulas. At least this is my point of view: Why should I spent more effort on an answer than it took you to deal with the problem?
 

Related to Mechanical Energy of a Homogeneous Circular Wheel Rolling at Different Speeds

What is a homogeneous circular wheel?

A homogeneous circular wheel is a type of wheel that has a uniform density and composition throughout its entire structure. This means that the material used to make the wheel is the same at every point, resulting in a balanced and symmetrical wheel.

What are some common uses of homogeneous circular wheels?

Homogeneous circular wheels are often used in vehicles, such as cars, bicycles, and motorcycles, as they provide a smooth and stable ride. They are also used in industrial and manufacturing applications, such as conveyor belts and pulleys.

How does the shape of a homogeneous circular wheel affect its performance?

The circular shape of a homogeneous wheel allows it to rotate smoothly and evenly, with minimal friction and resistance. This results in efficient movement and reduces wear and tear on the wheel.

What are the benefits of using a homogeneous circular wheel?

One of the main benefits of using a homogeneous circular wheel is its balance and stability. This allows for smoother and more efficient movement, as well as reducing the risk of accidents or damage. Additionally, due to its uniform composition, a homogeneous circular wheel is generally more durable and long-lasting.

How are homogeneous circular wheels different from other types of wheels?

Unlike other types of wheels, such as spoked or solid wheels, homogeneous circular wheels have a consistent density and composition throughout their structure. This results in a more balanced and stable wheel, making it ideal for certain applications where precision and smooth movement are important.
