  The problem of a disc or cylinder initially rolling with slipping on a
surface and subsequently transitioning to rolling without slipping is often
cited in textbooks. The following experiment serves to clearly demonstrate the
transition from rolling with slipping to rolling without slipping. In the
experiment, a rotating bicycle wheel was placed in contact with a horizontal
surface and the wheel in motion was tracked using Tracker video analysis
software [8]. The software created linear velocity plots for the centre of mass
and a point on the circumference as well as a plot of the angular velocity of
the rotating wheel. The time evolution plots created by Tracker clearly
illustrate the transition between the two types of motion.
