Question

A rigid wheel of radius $R$ rolls without slipping on a flat horizontal surface. The center of the wheel moves with a constant horizontal speed $v_0 = \omega R$, where $\omega$ is the constant angular velocity of the wheel. Consider a specific point $P$ on the rim of the wheel which is initially in contact with the ground at time $t=0$.
