AAMC Physics Self-Assessment #47

Isn't energy lost to the nonconservative force of friction? Wouldn't that cause the work not to be equal to the initial translational kinetic energy?

Sorry for not writing the entire question here, it is pretty long, and hoping someone with access to the self-assessment is able to answer.

Thanks!

The work that friction does to the tire(s) is part of the system. I starred this one to come back to it to see if they were looking for what you thought, or if they assumed to include friction.
