After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of vi = 2.62 m/s (FIGURE 10-34). To reach the rack, the ball rolls up a ramp that rises through a vertical height of h = 0.47 m.

(a) What is the linear speed of the ball when it reaches the top of the ramp?

(b) If the radius of the ball were increased, would the speed found in part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
