A uniform solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is projected with a velocity $v_0$ and an angular velocity $\omega_0$ on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu$. The time after which the sphere begins pure rolling is given by:

  1. A.$t = \frac{2v_0 - R\omega_0}{7\mu g}$
  2. B.$t = \frac{2v_0 + R\omega_0}{7\mu g}$
  3. C.$t = \frac{v_0 - R\omega_0}{\mu g}$
  4. D.$t = \frac{2v_0 + R\omega_0}{2\mu g}$
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: B$t = \frac{2v_0 + R\omega_0}{7\mu g}$

Solution

Pure rolling occurs when . Using the equations of motion and where , we solve for when .
