a person skateboarding is part of a closed system that has 1450 j of mechanica energy if the kinetic energy of the person i. creases from 200 J to 825 J what happens to the gravitational potential energy of the system

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?
