Kinetic Energy of a Rolling Disk
A solid disk with mass M and radius R rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface. The speed of the disk’s center of mass is v. If the total kinetic energy of the disk is plotted as a function of v², the resulting graph is a straight line. What is the slope of this line?
