Step 1. State the condition. A round object of radius RR is in pure rolling when its center-of-mass (translational) speed and its angular velocity satisfy vCM=Rω.v_{CM}=R\omega.

Step 2. Equivalent statement. This is exactly the condition under which the instantaneous point of contact between the object and the surface has zero resultant velocity relative to the surface — its translational velocity contribution and rotational velocity contribution exactly cancel there. …
