As given in diagram two paltes A and B move with velocities -V and 3V . If the sphere does not slide relative to the plate . Assuming mass of each body as m Find the kinetic energy of sphere
As we have learned
Instantaneous axis of rotation -
Motion of an object may look as pure rotation about a point which has zero velocity.
- wherein
For such a point we can study system as pure rotational motion.
Top point of sphere move with velocity V and bottom point move with velocity 2V
Position of ICR
Angular velocity w = v/y = 2v /R
Kinetic energy of sphere =
