Rolling Motion

A wheel of a bullock cart is rolling on a level road as shown in the figure below. If its linear speed is vv in the direction shown, which one of the following options is correct (PP and QQ are any highest and lowest points on the wheel, respectively)?

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. In rolling, each point has velocity vv (translation) plus ωr\omega r (rotation), with v=ωRv = \omega R.
  2. Top point P: vP=v+ωR=2vv_P = v + \omega R = 2v.
  3. Bottom point Q (contact point): vQ=v−ωR=0v_Q = v - \omega R = 0.
  4. So the answer is (b): P moves faster than Q.
