A solid sphere (? = 2/5m?2) is released from rest at the top of a ramp, as shown. The ramp is tilted at an angle of θ = 30.0°, and the sphere descends a total vertical distance of h = 1.0 m. Assume the sphere rolls without slipping. What is the final speed, vf, of the sphere when it reaches the bottom of the ramp?
