JEE Main Physics question
A sphere is rolled on a rough horizontal surface. It gradually slows down and stops. The force of friction tries to
Answer: (A),(B)
Solution
For a sphere initially rolling with (translation outpacing rotation, the usual "rolling with initial pure-translation-like excess" setup used in this classic problem), kinetic friction acts backward on the contact point, decelerating the linear motion (A) while providing a torque that increases the
