A solid spherical ball with a mass 1.51 kg and radius 0.40 m rolls without slipping down an incline that drops a distance 1.15 m over a horizontal distance of 5.2 m. Assuming the ball starts from rest at the top, use energy conservation to find its speed (in m/s) at the bottom of the incline.

Expert Solution
Potential energy at the top equals the kinetic energy at the bottom.

   mgh=12mv2+12Iω2     gh=12mv2+1225mr2vr2       v=107gh
