A wheel of a bullock cart is rolling on a level road as shown in the figure below. If its linear speed is in the direction shown, which one of the following options is correct ( and are any highest and lowest points on the wheel, respectively)?

- APoint moves slower than point .
- BPoint moves faster than point .
- CBoth the points and move with equal speed.
- DPoint has zero speed.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In pure rolling:The velocity of the center of mass is .The velocity of any point at distance from center is the vector sum of linear velocity and tangential velocity .At highest point : Linear and rotational velocities are in the same direction. .At lowest point (point of contact): Linear and rotational velocities are in opposite directions. .Thus, Point moves faster than Point .
