Feeling adventerous, Jane wants to go bowling on the roof of her apartment building. She starts out on the roof of a 51m tall building, but the bowling pins are set up on the roof of the adjacent building, which is 15 m away horizontally, but only 35m tall. She rolls the bowling with an initial velocity of 1.2 m/s, but the ball then goes down a 1.0 m tall ramp to give it some extra speed, then the ball (with a mass of 6 kg and a radius of 10 cm) rolls without slipping to the edge of the building, and toward the second roof. The moment of inertia of a sphere is (2/5)mr^2. Does the ball reach the pins on the adjacent building? Or is some poor guy going to find that a bowling ball has fallen from the sky to crush his car? Explain your reasoning!
