A cylinder rolls on a horizontal plane surface. If the speed of the center is 25 m/s, what is the speed of the highest point?


Given:


The velocity of the center of the cylinder= 25m/s


Let the radius= R


Mass of the sphere= m


The cylinder rolls on the horizontal plane. At this stage, the velocity is due to its linear motion and the rotation. These two velocities are the same and are in same direction.


v = ωR


net velocity at A= 25 + 25= 50 m/sec
