$A$ solid sphere with a velocity (of centre of mass) $v$ and angular velocity $\omega$ is gently placed on a rough horizontal surface. The frictional force on the sphere:

  • A
    must be forward (in direction of $v$)
  • B
    must be backward (opposite to $v$)
  • C
    cannot be zero
  • D
    none of the above

$A$ disc is rolling (without slipping) on a horizontal surface. $C$ is its centre and $Q$ and $P$ are two points on the same horizontal line passing through $C$,such that $Q$ is at a distance $r$ from $C$ and $P$ is at a distance $r$ from $C$ on the opposite side. Let $V_P, V_Q$ and $V_C$ be the magnitudes of velocities of points $P, Q$ and $C$ respectively,then:

Consider a point $P$ at the contact point of a wheel on the ground,which rolls on the ground without slipping. Find the displacement of point $P$ when the wheel completes half of a rotation (given the radius of the wheel is $1 \ m$).

$A$ sphere is rolling without slipping on a fixed horizontal plane surface. In the figure,$A$ is the point of contact,$B$ is the centre of the sphere,and $C$ is its topmost point. Then:
$(i) \vec{V}_C - \vec{V}_A = 2(\vec{V}_B - \vec{V}_C)$
$(ii) \vec{V}_C - \vec{V}_B = \vec{V}_B - \vec{V}_A$
$(iii) |\vec{V}_C - \vec{V}_A| = 2|\vec{V}_B - \vec{V}_C|$
$(iv) |\vec{V}_C - \vec{V}_A| = 4|\vec{V}_B|$
