MCQ
Any point on the circumference of a rigid body which is rolling without slipping undergoes:
  • A
    A circular path.
  • B
    An elleptic path.
  • A cycloid path.
  • D
    An parabolic path.

Answer

Correct option: C.
A cycloid path.
Any point on the rigid body, undergoing rolling without slipping, will have linear and angular speed, such that.
linear speed $=$ distance from $\text{CoM} \times$ angular speed

A rocket is launched normal to the surface of earth, away from the Sun, along the line joining the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is $3 \times 10^5$ times heavier than the Earth and is at a distance $2.5 \times 10^4$ times larger than the radius of the Earth. The escape velocity from Earth's gravitational field is $\mathrm{ve}_{\mathrm{e}}=11.2 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$.

A circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. A tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $w (t)$ will vary with time $t$ as
