Question
Read each statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false;
A wheel moving down a perfectly frictionless inclined plane will undergo slipping (not rolling) motion
Advertisements
Solution
True
The rolling of a body occurs when a frictional force acts between the body and the surface. This frictional force provides the torque necessary for rolling. In the absence of a frictional force, the body slips from the inclined plane under the effect of its own weight.
