A uniform solid sphere having mass M = 50.0 g and a radius R = 0.30 m rolls on a horizontal surface and then rolls up an incline at an angle of 30.0° as shown below in Figure 2. At the bottom of the incline the center of mass of the sphere has a translational speed of 4.2 m/s. If the frictional losses are negligible, how far does the sphere travel up along the incline? Hint: You can apply the principle of conservation of energy to solve the problem.) Figure 2 4.2 m/s 30.0⁰

A bowling ball of radius 8.5 cm is tossed onto a bowling lane with speed 9.0 m/s. The direction of the toss is to the left, as viewed by the observer, so the bowing ball starts to rotate counterclockwise when in contact with the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the lane is 0.3. (a) What is the time required for the ball to come to the point where It is no slipping? What is the distance d to the point where the ball is rolling without slipping?
