Correct answer: C
- Initial situation
A hoop of radius and mass is initially spinning with angular velocity , but its center is at rest:
Since it is placed on a rough horizontal surface, friction acts at the point of contact.
- Initially, the bottom point of the hoop has speed relative to the center.
- So the contact point slips on the ground.
- Friction opposes this slipping and therefore:
- gives the center of mass a forward linear acceleration,
- gives a retarding torque that reduces angular speed.
- Friction force and linear acceleration
Let the friction force be .
Then the translational equation is
so
- Torque and angular deceleration
For a hoop,
Torque due to friction about the center:
Thus angular deceleration is
This reduces the angular speed, so effectively
- Relation between and during slipping
From translation:
From rotation:
Multiply the second equation by :
Now add with the first equation:
So,
Hence,
Initially,
Therefore,
- Condition when slipping ceases
The hoop stops slipping when pure rolling begins. Then
Substitute into
Since , we get
- Checking options
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
So the correct option is:
