The rear-wheel-drive car can go from rest to 60 mph in Δt = 8 s. Assume that the wheels are all identical and that their geometric centers coincide with their mass centers. Let Mrear be the average moment applied to one of the rear wheels during Δt and computed relative to the wheel’s center. Finally, let Mfront be the average moment applied to one of the front wheels during Δt and computed relative to the wheel’s center. Modeling the wheels as rigid bodies, determine which of the following statements is true and why. (a) |Mrear|<|Mfront|, (b) |Mrear| = |Mfront|, (c) |Mrear| > |Mfront|.

Note: Concept problems are about explanations, not computations.
