A 625 gram basketball with a radius of 11.0 cm is a uniform hollow sphere that rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface of a floor such that the translational speed of the center of mass is 5.00 m/s. (a) What is the moment of inertia of the basketball? (b) What is the angular speed about the center of mass of the basketball as it rolls along the floor? (c) The basketball then reaches an incline that makes an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. If we ignore any energy losses due to dissipative forces, then to what maximum vertical height above the floor will the basketball reach? Include a diagram of the situation.

You are riding your bicycle down the street at a speed of 16 m/s. Your bicycle's frame has a mass of 6.0 kg, and each of its two wheels has mass 2.2 kg and radius 0.34 m. Each wheel can be thought of as a hollow hoop (assuming that the rim has much larger mass than the spokes). What is the total kinetic energy of the bicycle (in Joules)?(take into account both the translational and rotational motion.)
A uniform solid ball rolls without slipping down a plane which is inclined at 31° to the horizontal. If the ball has a radius r=0.4m, a mass m=0.1 kg and starts from rest, find: a) the speed of the ball after it travels 2m down the incline. b) at this point, what is the angular momentum of the ball? c) If the coefficient of friction between the ball and the plane is 0.25, what is the maximum angle of inclination that allows the ball to roll without slipping?
