Question
**Educational Exercise: Calculating Angular Speed**

**Required Information:**
A soccer ball with a diameter of 28.0 cm rolls without slipping at a linear speed of 4.80 m/s.

**Question:**
What is the ball’s angular speed?

**Answer:**
To find the angular speed (\(\omega\)) of the ball, use the relationship between linear speed (\(v\)) and angular speed:
\[
v = \omega \times r
\]
where \(r\) is the radius of the ball.

First, convert diameter to radius:
- Diameter = 28.0 cm
- Radius (\(r\)) = 28.0 cm / 2 = 14.0 cm = 0.14 m

Now, solve for angular speed:
\[
\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{4.80 \, \text{m/s}}{0.14 \, \text{m}} = 34.29 \, \text{rad/s}
\]

Thus, the ball's angular speed is approximately 34.29 rad/s.
