PX155 - E3 - circular motion and rolling

- is the vector from a moving the centre of rotation to a point of contact between the wheel and road
- velocity of P?
- direction of
- after one rolling rotation, has moved a distance of in time
- so,
- point of contact instantaneously at rest - static friction is irrelevant
- if , then kinetic friction applies
- wheels of a car rotating at , they are under-rotating, which makes the car skid along the surface
- if , wheels over-rotate and skid
