Question

Suppose a 200-kg motorcycle has two wheels like, the one described in Problem 10.15 and is heading toward a hill at a speed of 30.0 m/s. (a) How high can it coast up the hill, if you neglect friction? (b) How much energy is lost to friction if the motorcycle only gains an altitude of 35.0 m before coming to rest? 33c and 33d) Answer parts a and b assuming you have a TRIcycle instead. All other values remain the same. 33e) Compare the answers to parts a and c (ratio). Explain why there was a difference in the maximum heights the two vehicles could coast to.

I need help on 33c, 33d, and 33e.
