A Solid Wheel with Mass M, Radius R, and Rotational

Multiple Choice

A solid wheel with mass M, radius R, and rotational inertia MR²/2, rolls without sliding on a horizontial surface. A horizontal force F is applied to the axle and the center of mass has an acceleration a. The magnitudes of the applied force F and the frictional force f of the surface, respectively, are:

A) F = Ma, f = 0
B) F = Ma, f = Ma/2
C) F = 2Ma, f = Ma
D) F = 2Ma, f = Ma/2
E) F = 3Ma/2, f = Ma/2
