Rolling constraint: .
- A
Sample 2difficulty 1/5
A wheel of radius rolls without slipping at . Its angular speed is
- A
- Bcheck_circle
- C
- D
Why
.
- A
Sample 3difficulty 2/5
A solid sphere and a solid disk (same mass and radius) roll without slipping down the same incline from rest. Which arrives first?
- A
Depends on incline angle
- B
Tie
- C
Disk
- Dcheck_circle
Sphere
Why
where . Sphere , disk . Smaller wins → sphere.
- A
Sample 4difficulty 2/5
A wheel of radius rolls without slipping at . The angular speed of the wheel is
- A
- B
- Ccheck_circle
- D
Why
.
- A
Sample 5difficulty 3/5
A solid disk rolls up an incline without slipping. As it rolls up, its angular velocity
- A
Reverses sign
- Bcheck_circle
Decreases
- C
Increases
- D
Stays the same
Why
KE decreases as PE increases (energy conservation), so both translational and angular speeds decrease.
- A
