Equilibrium Help: Solving for Tangential Speed in a Rolling Wheel Problem

  • Thread starter Thread starter key
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
A wheel with a diameter of 0.700 meters rolls without slipping, and a point on its top has a tangential speed of 2.00 m/s relative to the ground. The discussion revolves around the relationship between linear velocity (v), radius (r), and angular velocity (ω) in the context of the wheel's motion. Participants emphasize the importance of defining these variables to solve the problem accurately. The question posed considers the scenario where the wheel stops spinning and slides along the ground, prompting considerations of the inequalities between v, r, and ω. Clarifying these definitions is crucial for arriving at the correct conclusion regarding the wheel's behavior.

A wheel of diameter 0.700 meters rolls without slipping. A point on the top of the wheel moves with a tangential speed of 2.00 m/s with respect to the ground.



1. If the wheel suddenly stops spinning and skis along the ground then

a. v=rω

b. v>rω

c. v<rω



thank you

You are supposed to make some attempt at the question before expecting any help.
If you write down what you mean by v, r and w I think the question will answer itself.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
