A uniform circular disc of radius r placed on a rough horizontal plane has initial velocity v 0 and angular velocity ω 0 as shown. The disc comes to rest after moving some distance in the direction of motion. Then
Options
- AThe friction force acts in the forward direction
- BThe point of contact of disc with ground has zero velocity
- Cv 0 must be equal to r ω 0 2 in magnitude
- Dv 0 must be equal to 2 r ω 0 in magnitude
Correct answer
C. v 0 must be equal to r ω 0 2 in magnitude
Step-by-step solution
Conserving the angular momentum of the disc about its bottom-most point, we get 1 2 m R 2 ω 0 - m v 0 R = 0 (Since the disc finally comes to rest, it means its total angular momentum is zero) v 0 = r ω 0 2
