Rolling Motion
A point P consider at contact point of a wheel on ground which rolls on ground without slipping then value of displacement of point P when wheel completes half of rotation (if radius of wheel is 1 m)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- In half a rotation the centre moves forward, so P moves m horizontally.
- P goes from the bottom to the top of the wheel: vertical shift m.
- Displacement m.
- So the answer is (b).
