Question

Motion of wheel of a bicycle is______________.

Answer 1

Rolling motion.

1. The rolling motion is the combination of rotation and translation.
2. For example, an object, say a ball is rolling, that is it is rolling on the surface of the ground.
3. So the ball is in the rolling motion.
4. At the same time, the ball is moving from one point to another point so there is a translation motion.
5. The same case is applied when a bicycle is running on a straight road.
6. The bicycle's wheel is rolling on the road as well as moving from one point to another,

Thus, a bicycle on a straight road has a rolling motion.
