A hollow sphere is set into motion on a rough horizontal surface with a speed in the forward direction and a rotational speed in the anticlockwise direction as shown in the figure. Find the translational speed of the sphere when it stops rotating and when slipping finally ceases and pure rolling starts.




Important Questions on Rotational Mechanics
Two small particles of masses respectively, are joined rigidly to the ends of a light rod of length as shown in the figure. The system translates on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity in a direction perpendicular to the rod. A particle of mass kept at rest on the surface sticks to the particle as the particle collides with it. Then choose the correct option(s)

A block with a square base measuring and height , is placed on an inclined plane. The coefficient of friction is . The angle of inclination of the plane is gradually increased. The block will:

A uniform disc of mass and radius is lifted using a string as shown in the figure. Then,

A circular loop of rope of length rotates with uniform angular velocity about an axis through its centre on a horizontal smooth platform.Velocity of pulse (with respect to rope ) produce due to slight radial displacement is given by, If the motion of the pulse and rotation of the loop, both are in same direction then the velocity of the pulse w.r.t. to ground will be:

A circular loop of rope of length rotates with uniform angular velocity about an axis through its centre on a horizontal smooth platform. Velocity of pulse (with respect to rope ) produce due to slight radial displacement is given by, If both are in opposite directions, then the velocity of the pulse with respect to the ground will be:
