A wheel rolls purely on ground. Find a point on the periphery of a body which has a velocity equal to the velocity of the centre of mass of the body.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Velocity of any point on the circumference of a rolling body
`v_(p)=2v_(CM)costheta/2`
For `v_(p)=v_(CM),` we have
`v_(CM)=2v_(CM)costheta/2=1/2` or `theta=120^@`

A 2 kg body and a 3 kg body are moving along the x-axis. At a particular instant the 2 kg body has a velocity of 3 ms^(-1) and the 3 kg body has the velocity of 2ms^(-1) . The velocity of the centre of mass at that instant is

A wheel is released on a rough horizontal floor after imparting it an initial horizontal velocity v_(0) and angular velocity omega_(0) as shown in the figure below. Point O is the centre of mass of the wheel and point P is its instantaneous point of contact with the groundl. The radius of wheel is r and its radius of gyration about O is k . Coefficient of friction between wheel and ground is mu . A is a fixed point on the ground. If above question , distance travelled by centre of mass of the wheel before it stops is -
