Rolling Motion

The centre of a wheel rolling on a plane surface moves with a speed v0. A particle on the rim of the wheel at the same level as the centre will be moving at a speed x v0\sqrt{x}\,v_0. Then the value of x is _____________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 02

  1. Rim point at centre level: translational v0v_0 (horizontal) plus rotational Rω=v0R\omega = v_0 (vertical).
  2. These are perpendicular, so speed =v02+v02=2 v0= \sqrt{v_0^2 + v_0^2} = \sqrt{2}\,v_0.
  3. So x=2x = 2.
