Question:

A disc is performing pure rolling on a smooth stationary surface with constant angular velocity as shown in figure. At any instant, for the lower most point of the disc -

  • velocity is v, acceleration is zero
  • velocity is zero, acceleration is zero
  • velocity is v, acceleration is $v^2/R$
  • velocity is zero, acceleration is $v^2/R$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$v _{ A }=0$ (due to pure rolling)
Angular acceleration (for A), a
$=R w^{2}=R \frac{v^{2}}{R^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Concepts Used:

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
