Abstract:
The height at which the mud is thrown from a wheel that rolls over level ground at a constant speed forward is a classic instructive problem. An innovative pedagogical method that illustrates the basic concepts of kinematics and provides an analytical perspective of the results is proposed as a useful tool in teaching classical mechanics. To find the solution, we use the concepts of ballistic launch, cycloidal motion, and the elementary theory of differential equations.
