6.5.C—Describe the motion of a system that is rolling while slipping

Describe the motion of a system that is rolling while slipping.

• When slipping, the motion of a system’s center of mass and the system’s rotational motion cannot be directly related.
• When a rotating system is slipping relative to another surface, the point of application of the force of kinetic friction exerted on the system moves with respect to the surface, so the force of kinetic friction will dissipate energy from the system.
