Keith has failed to take into account that the larger wheels rotate slower to
obtain 10m/s so his rotational KE numbers are wrong. It's of no consequence
anyway as the differences are tiny compared to the overall KE of the system as
john-b pointed out already. The percentage differences in weight and KE will
be the same assuming constant distribution of mass.
