Wagon Wheel Structure Moment of Inertia Wheel Mass Wheel Radius
Wagon \(A\) Solid disk \[\frac{1}{2} M R^2\] \[ 0.5 \, \text{kg} \] \[ 0.1 \, \text{m} \]
Wagon \(B\) Solid disk \[\frac{1}{2} M R^2\] \[ 0.2 \, \text{kg} \] \[ 0.1 \, \text{m} \]
Wagon \(C\) Hollow hoop \[M R^2\] \[ 0.1 \, \text{kg} \] \[ 0.1 \, \text{m} \]

Three wagons have identical total mass (including their wheels) and each has four wheels. However, the wheels on each wagon have different designs with varying mass distributions and radii as shown in a reference chart. When accelerating each wagon from a standstill to \( 10 \) \( \text{m/s} \), which wagon requires the most energy input?
