JEE — Rolling ConditionHardQuestion 30358
Question
A body rolls on a surface. For pure rolling without slipping, which statement is correct?
- AFriction does negative work on the body
- BFriction does positive work on the body
- CFriction does no work on the bodyCorrect
- DThere is no friction in rolling
Correct answer
Friction does no work on the body
Explanation
In pure rolling, the contact point is instantaneously at rest, so friction acts at zero velocity → power = F·v = 0 → no work done by friction.
