If there already is horizontal motion, but no sliding, then there must already be rotation as well. So it will rotate onto the next edge.rahaverhma said:How does a polygon shaped body's toppling shifts from one edge to next adjacent edge when the object is already in motion without any sliding and no external force is applied ?
I didn't quite understand. Can you please elaborate it ?A.T. said:If there already is horizontal motion, but no sliding, then there must already be rotation as well. So it will rotate onto the next edge.

@rahaverhma -- All schoolwork-type questions like this go in the schoolwork forums, and you must show your best efforts on the question before we can offer tutorial help. Please re-post this in the schoolwork forums and show some diagrams and your work. This rule applies to all schoolwork-type questions, including those for self-study. Thank you.rahaverhma said:No. Explain it just conceptually without any mathematics. And one thing more please explain it both ways, with and without including CoM.
