Question:

The centre of a wheel rolling on a plane surface moves with a speed $v_{ 0}$. A particle on the rim of the wheel at the same level as the centre will be moving at speed

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The given solution can be shown as



Here $v_0 = R\omega$
At $P, v = r \omega$
$= \sqrt{(R^2 + R^2)\omega}$
$ = \sqrt{2} R \omega = \sqrt{2} v_0$

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)
