Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around two questions related to rolling motion, specifically focusing on the effects of friction on a straight line. Participants are exploring the application of Newton's laws and rotational dynamics in this context.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to apply the equations F=ma and T=Iw but are encountering difficulties in balancing the forces due to friction. There is a suggestion to consider the type of friction involved between the rolling ball and the surface.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered insights regarding the relationship between mass, coefficient of friction, and the resulting forces and torques. However, there remains a lack of consensus on how to effectively utilize these equations in the given scenario.

The problem I am facing is that on a straight line friction is there and I can't balance it. Using F=ma and T=Iw doesn't work.

Knowing the mass of the ball and the coefficient of friction you know the force of friction, so you know what to put for Force and Torque. And don't forget that the ball is not constrained, so it gets torque and linear acceleration.
 
Welcome to PF;
The trick is to realize what kind of friction is between the rolling ball and the plank.
Otherwise as above.

But that's the problem I can't from those equations
