When a wheel begins to roll on a flat surface, is it due to fulcrum generated at the contact point by friction?
[Edit: What I'm trying to understand is how any wheel rolls on a surface, instead of just spinning in place. I know that friction provides the force to make the wheel roll, but I'm unsure about the ...

Energy loss due to friction in Rolling Motion
I understand why rolling motion does no work. My (possibly imprecise) summary of the answer is that net work done is zero. And the role of friction is to convert translational kinetic energy into ...

Calculating moment of inertia for a hollow cylindrical shell of varying amounts of water within it for an experiment about rotational motion [closed]
I am doing an experiment with the overall research question of: To what extent does the amount of fluid within a hollow cylindrical can affect its dynamics while rolling down an inclined plane
I was ...

Doubt: (For pure rolling motion and friction)
For pure rolling motion, at the point of contact of the wheel at the ground the net velocity is 0, so there is no relative motion. But if at that instant no relative motion, then how can static ...

Is accelerated rolling with slipping possible?
I have a conceptual question regarding the following tasks. Two cylinders with different coefficients of friction are rolling down a inclined plane, thus accelerating. According to the task, due to ...

Is friction equal to gravitational force during rolling down a ramp?
I'm studying the motion and forces involved in a ball (bidimensional) rolling down a ramp inclined by an angle $\theta$ from the x-axis.
This is the body diagram (I didn't draw forces but there is ...

No-circular motion on a turntable
As the title says, I want to model the path of an object sliding on the surface of a turntable, as it is slowly flung off.
The final application of this is , modelling fine material moving along the ...

What does neglect friction mean?
According to my teacher, neglect friction means to neglect the work of friction. I believe that it means that the system is frictionless. Am I wrong?
The problem is specifically, "A 5 kg cylinder ...

Can a torque on the rim of a solid cylinder cause rolling without slipping?
I'm getting stuck on friction (heh). Here's a simplified problem from my textbook illustrating my confusion.
We have a solid cylinder of mass m and radius r, lying on its side on a table, with a ...

Why is the direction of friction different in case of rolling on plane surface and on an inclined plane?
I was studying the rolling of spherical objects on plane surfaces and inclined planes. I had doubts about the direction of friction in both cases.
Case 1-
In the first case i.e. rolling on the plane ...

If an object stays afloat in air for long enough, will it start moving backward eventually? [duplicate]
Let's say, for example, if a helicopter that has an unlimited fuel supply and everything else needed to stay functional stays afloat in air for long enough, would it eventually start moving backwards? ...

Is there a physics explanation for why dry steering damages tyre?
I used to think dry steering damages tyres because static friction takes place when the car is not moving, as opposed to dynamic friction when the car is moving. (Note: static friction has greater ...

Rolling without slipping, where is the friction?
Consider a ball rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface. Obviously it is going to stop at some point, but why? Since the surface of the ball that is in contact with the surface of the floor ...

Friction during rolling
I have four doubts regarding friction during rolling.
Does slipping mean zero angular velocity, or is it just the $v$ velocity not being equal to $\omega r$?
If a wheel is initially given the ...
