Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the trajectories of unreduced ϕ\phi-simple Chaplygin kinetic systems are reparametrizations of horizontal geodesics with respect to a modified Riemannian metric. Furthermore, our proof is constructive and these Riemannian metrics, which are not unique, are obtained explicitly in interesting examples. We also extend these results to ϕ\phi-simple Chaplygin mechanical systems (not necessarily kinetic).
