Historical Case: The 1982 May US SAT Question #17 Debacle
Problema: Circle A with radius r rolls without slipping around fixed Circle B with radius 3r. How many revolutions does Circle A make? Official choices: (A) 3/2, (B) 3, (C) 6, (D) 9/2, (E) 9.
Estratégia analítica: ETS mistakenly assumed revolutions = circumference ratio 3r/r = 3 (Option B). High schooler Matt Vander-Schoot proved all options were incorrect: the center travels a radius of (3r+r)=4r, covering 8πr, so A rotates 8πr/(2πr) = 4 times. ETS awarded credit to all 300,000 students.
Derivação passo a passo:
- Step 1: Circumference of fixed circle = 6πr; rolling coin = 2πr.
- Step 2: Center of moving coin travels at radius R + r = 3r + r = 4r.
- Step 3: Distance travelled by center = 2π × (4r) = 8πr.
- Step 4: Total revolutions N = 8πr / (2πr) = 4.
- Step 5: Formula check: N = 1 + R/r = 1 + 3 = 4 (1 from orbit + 3 from rolling).
⚠️ Erro conceitual comum: Confusing straight line rolling with orbital rolling: straight paths have zero orbital rotation; circular paths inherently impart 1 extra full revolution.

Q1. A 5 cm radius coin rolls on a straight table for 31.4 cm. How many turns does it rotate? (π=3.14)
Answer Key: 1 turn (straight rolling has no orbit: 31.4 / (2 × 3.14 × 5) = 1)
Q2. If a 10 mm coin rolls around a 20 mm fixed coin, how many total rotations does it make?
Answer Key: 3 turns (N = 1 + 20/10 = 3)
Perguntas frequentes e erros comuns
What is the rotation formula if the coin rolls on the INSIDE of the fixed circle?
For interior rolling, orbit opposes spin: N = R/r - 1. When R=2r, N = 2 - 1 = 1 turn, and every point on the rolling coin traces a straight diameter line (Tusi Couple)!
