A wheel rotating clockwise with point P at the top.
A bicycle wheel of radius \(R\) is mounted on a fixed stand and is rotating with a constant angular velocity \(\omega\) in the clockwise direction, as shown in the figure. Point \(P\) is a point on the outermost rim of the wheel. Which of the following diagrams correctly represents the direction of the instantaneous linear velocity vector \(\vec{v}\) of point \(P\) at the moment it passes the top of the wheel's path?
