At the point where the tire contacts the ground, it's speed is zero. 180° away, at the top, it is moving forward at twice the speed of the car. Negative - yer forgetting centripetal force. ? Negative what? Talking about a point on the surface of the tire, not the wheel as a whole. Centripital force has nothing to do with the forward velocity of that point (how it travels in one axis). Are you talking about a round tire or not What other kind of tire is there? .. Sorry bud, can't make the initial assumption that's been made - I'm not your bud,. And what assumption are you talking about? as it's on a tire, and yep, even that point, at that time - has the centripetal force. We aren't talking about the forces at work on the wheel or tire, we are talking about the forward velocity. I can see this concept is lost on you. -- Duncan |
