6.5.B—Describe the motion of a system that is rolling without slipping

Describe the motion of a system that is rolling without slipping.

  • While rolling without slipping, the translational motion of a system’s center of mass is related to the rotational motion of the system itself with the following equations:
  • For ideal cases, rolling without slipping implies that the frictional force does not dissipate any energy from the rolling system.
