Question
Read each statement below carefully, and state, with reasons, if it is true or false;
The instantaneous speed of the point of contact during rolling is zero.
Solution
True
Rolling can be considered as the rotation of a body about an axis passing through the point of contact of the body with the ground. Hence, its instantaneous speed is zero.
