Consider the acceleration of a car on dry pavement, if there is no slipping. The axle moves at speed v, and the outside of the
tire moves at speed v relative to the axle. The instantaneous velocity of the bottom of the tire is zero. How much work is
done by the force exerted on the tire by the road? What is the source of the energy that increases the car's translational
kinetic energy?
