JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion

A solid sphere is in pure rolling motion on an inclined surface having inclination \(\theta\).

  1. A frictional force acting on sphere is \(f=\mu m g \cos \theta\)
  2. B \(f\) is disspative force
  3. C friction will increase its angular velocity and decreases its linear velocity
  4. D If \(\theta\) decreases, friction will decrease
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) If \(\theta\) decreases, friction will decrease

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In case of pure rolling,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& f=\frac{m g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{m R^2}{I}} \\
\therefore & f \propto \sin \theta
\end{aligned}
\)
(upwards)
Therefore, as \(\theta\) decreases force of friction will also decrease.
