For a body **rolling without slipping** on a flat surface with centre-of-mass velocity $v$, the **velocity of the topmost point** is:

  1. $0$
  2. $v$
  3. $2v$
  4. $v/2$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $2v$

**Rolling:** $v_{\text{cm}} = R\omega$. **Top point:** $v_{\text{cm}} + R\omega = 2v$. **Bottom (contact) point:** $v_{\text{cm}} - R\omega = 0$ (instantaneously at rest).
