Q61 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 1) · Physics

A disc is rolling without slipping on a surface. The radius of the disc is R. At t=0, the top most point on the disc is A as shown in figure. When the disc completes half of its rotation, the displacement of point A from its initial position is

Figure

  • A
    2R
  • Correct answer
    B
    Rπ2+4
  • C
    Rπ2+1
  • D
    2R1+4π2

Solution

Figure

The displacement is the hypotenuse of the diameter and the distance travelled for half the rotation πR.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

Displacement of A=(2R)2+(πR)2

=Rπ2+4

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
