Correct answer: C

  1. Initial situation

A hoop of radius rrr and mass mmm is initially spinning with angular velocity ω0\omega_0ω0​, but its center is at rest:

vCM(0)=0v_{\text{CM}}(0)=0vCM​(0)=0

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 rω0r\omega_0rω0​ 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.

  1. Friction force and linear acceleration

Let the friction force be fff.

Then the translational equation is

f=maf = maf=ma

so

a=fma = \frac{f}{m}a=mf​


  1. Torque and angular deceleration

For a hoop,

I=mr2I = mr^2I=mr2

Torque due to friction about the center:

τ=fr\tau = frτ=fr

Thus angular deceleration is

α=τI=frmr2=fmr\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} = \frac{fr}{mr^2} = \frac{f}{mr}α=Iτ​=mr2fr​=mrf​

This reduces the angular speed, so effectively

dωdt=−fmr\frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\frac{f}{mr}dtdω​=−mrf​


  1. Relation between vvv and ω\omegaω during slipping

From translation:

dvdt=fm\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{f}{m}dtdv​=mf​

From rotation:

dωdt=−fmr\frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\frac{f}{mr}dtdω​=−mrf​

Multiply the second equation by rrr:

rdωdt=−fmr\frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\frac{f}{m}rdtdω​=−mf​

Now add with the first equation:

dvdt+rdωdt=0\frac{dv}{dt} + r\frac{d\omega}{dt} = 0dtdv​+rdtdω​=0

So,

ddt(v+rω)=0\frac{d}{dt}(v + r\omega)=0dtd​(v+rω)=0

Hence,

v+rω=constantv + r\omega = \text{constant}v+rω=constant

Initially,

v=0,ω=ω0v=0, \quad \omega=\omega_0v=0,ω=ω0​

Therefore,

v+rω=rω0v + r\omega = r\omega_0v+rω=rω0​


  1. Condition when slipping ceases

The hoop stops slipping when pure rolling begins. Then

v=rωv = r\omegav=rω

Substitute into

v+rω=rω0v + r\omega = r\omega_0v+rω=rω0​

Since v=rωv=r\omegav=rω, we get

v+v=rω0v + v = r\omega_0v+v=rω0​

2v=rω02v = r\omega_02v=rω0​

v=rω02v = \frac{r\omega_0}{2}v=2rω0​​


  1. Checking options
  • A: rω04\dfrac{r\omega_0}{4}4rω0​​
  • B: rω03\dfrac{r\omega_0}{3}3rω0​​
  • C: rω02\dfrac{r\omega_0}{2}2rω0​​
  • D: rω0r\omega_0rω0​

So the correct option is:

C   rω02\boxed{\text{C }\; \frac{r\omega_0}{2}}C 2rω0​​​
