A wheel of a bullock cart is rolling on a level road as shown in the figure below. If its linear speed is in the direction shown, which one of the following options is correct ( and are any highest and lowest points on the wheel, respectively)?
- APoint moves slower than point
- BPoint moves faster than point
- CBoth the points and move with equal speed
- DPoint has zero speed
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
In the case of pure rolling,
The topmost point will have velocity $2 v$ while point $Q$ i.e. lowest point will have zero velocity. Hence point $P$ moves faster than point $Q$.
